Muzzell was born at Stutterheim in 1945. A leg-spin bowler, he made his first-class debut for Western Province during the 1964–65 season.[1][2] After he retired from playing he became a cricket coach and administrator. He was involved in the process through which the white-dominated South African Cricket Union and the non-racial South African Cricket Board merged during the late 1980s to become the United Cricket Board of South Africa. He managed the South African side during their 1993–94 tour of Australia and at the 1996 Cricket World Cup.[3][4] Muzzell was involved with the administration of the Border cricket team for a number of years and became the association's president.[3]
