Overview
- Kolkata Knight Riders confirmed Muzarabani’s signing for IPL 2026 as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman, who was earlier released on BCCI directions.
- Islamabad United had recruited Muzarabani as Shamar Joseph’s replacement for a reported PKR 11 million before he withdrew from PSL 11.
- A PCB source said the board’s legal department has been asked to proceed, citing last season’s Corbin Bosch case that led to a one‑season PSL ban.
- Muzarabani, fresh off 13 wickets at the T20 World Cup, is expected to arrive in Kolkata around March 17 to join pre‑season preparations.
- With the PSL and IPL scheduled in the same late‑March window, the dispute underscores intensifying cross‑league competition for overseas players.
