Blessing Muzarabani (born 2 October 1996) is a Zimbabwean cricketer.[3] He made his first-class debut for Rising Stars in the 2017–18 Logan Cup on 4 October 2017.[4]

Blessing was born in Murewa, a small town in Zimbabwe. Later his family moved to Highfield, a suburb in Harare. At the age of seven, he started cricket training at Takashinga Cricket Club. This is where his talent was spotted by coaches.[1] In 2017, he was chosen by Tatenda Taibu for the Rising Stars Academy to tour England for three months.[5]

Domestic career

In December 2020, he was selected to play for the Southern Rocks in the 2020–21 Logan Cup.[6][7]

In June 2021, Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) added Muzarabani to their squad, replacing Obed McCoy, for the remaining matches in the 2021 PSL edition.[8] He played six matches and took ten wickets for his team, with the Multan Sultans winning their first PSL title.[9]

Kolkata Knight Riders bought him as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman after he was pulled out due to political reasons[10]
