The replacement players will be available from the playoffs stage onwards, should MI qualify.
Three new faces, namely Jonny Bairstow, Richard Gleeson and Charith Asalanka, have been added to Mumbai Indians’ (MI) squad for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.
The incoming trio will replace Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch, who are all set to leave for national duties after MI's last league match.
While Rickelton and Bosch are named in the 15-member South African squad for their WTC 2023-25 final against Australia next month, Will Jacks is set to return to England to take part in a white-ball series against West Indies.
Jacks will be replaced by Bairstow, who will join at a price of INR 5.25 crore. Gleeson will be a replacement for Ryan Rickelton at a reserve price of INR 1 crore. Asalanka will come in as a replacement for Bosch at a reserve price of INR 75 lakhs.
The replacement players will be available from the playoffs stage onwards, should MI qualify.
Notably, the IPL 2025 was suspended for a brief period due to India-Pakistan tensions at the border. As per the revised schedule, the playoffs will begin on May 29.
