Zimbabwe pace bowler Blessing Muzarabani has been signed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the final stages of the Indian Premier League.

Muzarabani, 28, will replace South Africa bowler Lungi Ngidi, who will depart the IPL for the Proteas’ build-up to the World Test Championship final.

The IPL said the replacement is effective from 26 May – the day before RCB’s final match of the league phase against Lucknow Super Giants.

Muzarabani is in the squad for Zimbabwe’s four-day Test against England this week, which is scheduled to conclude on 25 May at Trent Bridge.

Muzarabani, a tall fast bowler, has never previously played in the IPL but has been a net bowler at the T20 tournament.

He has played in the Caribbean Premier League and the Pakistan Super League and has 127 wickets in 118 T20s with an economy rate of 7.24.

RCB have already qualified for the IPL play-offs, which begin on 29 May. They have doubts over the fitness of Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood who is nursing a shoulder issue.
