Earlier, KKR had also roped in Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani in place of Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman. KKR had initially signed Mustafizur for Rs 9.2 crore as a backup overseas pacer to Rs 18 crore recruit Matheesha Pathirana, but the Bangladesh left-armer was released following BCCI directives earlier this year amid heightened India-Bangladesh tensions.
