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 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]
