That was different because of security issue. Heck there was a war between two countries ongoing. If you are breaching a contract there needs to be a solid reason at least. (Even if it might look farce in actuality).

Okay fair enough, but what about Dasun Shanaka? what about Ottneil Baartman? I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting. If a rule is not equal for all then it doesn't mean anything.

I hope we see announcements in the coming days banning these players for two years too.
 
Maybe there is a difference in the leagues eyes between a direct signing and players signed via draft. That's the only thing I can think of.

That doesn't make any sense though.

If a player signed a contract with the franchise and reneged on the agreement then there should be no difference based on whether he was a direct signing or whether he was signed through auction.

And Muzarabani was neither. He was signed as a replacement player for Shamar Joseph.

I agree, was just thinking of possible reasons. Assumed he was direct and post draft so was trying to find some logic behind PCB decision.

No, I'm not blaming you or anything. Personally, I think they just want to make an example out of him because its easier to ban a Zimbabwean player, as opposed to a Sri Lankan or South African player. Unless they issue bans to Shanaka and Baartman in the coming days there is no reason to think otherwise.

The thing that they are probably worried about is a potential scenario where they ban a bunch of players and end up restricting their own overseas player pool.

IPL can afford to do this because everyone wants to play in the IPL which makes it a good deterrent. But I don't think the PCB can realistically afford to do this if they are planning to continue running the tournament in this window.

Harsh on Muzarabani, Shanaka etc got off without anything just because they are players of a bigger board.
 
Blessing wouldn't care much, he has earned 4 times of PSL money. He would be retained by KKR or will play in other team from next season.

Besides KKR has teams in CPL, MLC, ILT20.

Blessing's future is well secured by participating in the IPL this season.
 
Ban is justified. He left after signing a contract. :inti

Players from smaller teams shouldn't get carried away with IPL. They are unlikely to get many games in IPL. Why burn bridges with other leagues?
 
Ahmed Shahzad speaking on his social media handle:

“Most of the players you have are those who retired from the IPL, and their future didn’t really progress further. Players like David Warner, Steve Smith, and others don’t have the same impact as someone like Kevin Pietersen has in commentary in IPL. These are the kinds of players who are now here and say the PSL is better, otherwise wherever a player gets a chance, he will always choose the IPL. So, what we need to do is decide exactly how many players we are going to ban.”

LOL, so he would rather have his friend Kevin Pietersen in commentary panel than have Steve Smith, David Warner in the IPL? Opinions like this is why he went unpicked in franchise cricket too. He has turned into a glorified ragebaiter or contrarian

Shahzad is taking his frustration out at being unpicked in the PSL. A lot of sports journalists blackmail the PCB by threatening non stop criticism if they don't get favours from them.

things arent certain in life especially in sports. one bad injury or loss of form and he may become unpickable in leagues. Loyalty is only for your national team. whoever thinks otherwise doesnt live in real world
 
IPL automatically raises a players self brand. PSL does not have the same effect. Not surprised he chose IPL over PSL. But PSL nitpicking who to ban is idiotic. Do the same for all or don't do it at all.

You are right, but at the end of day only $$$$ matters.
 
India banned Harry Brook captain of England team & most likely Ben Duckett would also get banned.

Pakistan meanwhile bans player from from a lowly ranked side😄😄😄😄

Should have banned Kusal Mendis for last year, as well as Shanaka for skipping this year's PSL for IPL.
 
As if Mazurabani is coming back for PSL in foreseeable future, he will in IPL for atleast next 2 3 yrs

it does, but franchises won't have any problem in distancing themselves from a player who loses form, suffers a career threatening injury or gets older. Leagues are just what they are, easy money for playing a tournament. And it's good for players as it gives them better financial incentives especially from the nations where players aren't paid that well.
 
The agent representing Zimbabwe’s Blessing Muzarabani has hit back in response to the Zimbabwean star being banned by the Pakistan Super League for two years.

This followed an alleged breach of contract by Muzarabani who snubbed the PSL for the IPL.

The statement says that Muzarabani never held a contract with Islamabad United.

:klopp :kp
 
Nice to see that Muzurabani's called out racists Pakistan fan's. They are disgrace for humanity and you are coward
This is official remarks by Muzarabani and his agent's. Beautiful 😍

Dho dala re Pakistani fans ko. @Major @Suleiman this is for you guys. Beautiful

:klopp :kp
 
Well if Blessing never signed a contract then he cannot be in breach and should not have been banned IMO.

A private agency can ban anyone, anytime, for any reason or no reason, so PCB does have the right to ban. But if no contract was signed they could have been more sympathetic.
