Am joining IPL’s Lucknow on a training basis – Muzarabani

Zimbabwe pace bowler Blessing Muzarabani has moved to clarify his Indian Premier League (IPL) opportunity.

While the Indian Embassy in Harare had said he was going to be with the Lucknow Super Giants this IPL season, the lanky player has explained what it actually entails.

He said, “

To clarify for everyone from my REAL account, I’m joining @LucknowIPL on a training basis as part of my desire to continuously improve as a cricketer and be ready to step on to the big stage at the @IPL should an opportunity arise. Can’t wait!”

Training it has been suggested, is net-bowling.

Lucknow have named Australan Andrew Tye as the replacement for Englishman Mark Wood who is out injured.

With Zimbabwe set to prepare for the T20 World Cup Qualifier with matches in the next couple of months, one would be curious to see from where the window for the ‘training’ would come.
