In the IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians have signed Jonny Bairstow, Richard Gleeson and Charith Asalanka as replacements for the overseas players who are set to leave for national duty after the side's final group stage match.
England's Will Jacks and South Africa's Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch will return home after the Paltan concludes with its last group stage match. The Hardik Pandya-led MI will clash against Punjab Kings on May 26.
"Jacks will be replaced by English wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow, who joins the squad at a price of INR 5.25 crore," the IPL stated in an official release.
"English pacer Richard Gleeson will come in for Ryan Rickelton at a reserve price of Rs one crore, while Sri Lankan batter Charith Asalanka replaces Corbin Bosch at Rs 75 lakh".
Currently, Mumbai Indians are placed in the fourth position on the IPL 2025 points table. Having played 12 matches, the side has registered seven victories and five losses. With 14 points and a net run rate of +1.156, they will lock horns with Delhi Capitals on May 21.
The IPL 2025 match between MI and DC has been scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium at 7.30 pm. If the home team manages to secure a win in Delhi's clash, the side will seal the playoffs berth of the cash-rich league.
The three replacements will be available only from the playoffs stage, provided MI secure qualification for the knockout rounds.
Recently, the former Mumbai Indians' captain Rohit Sharma achieved the feat as the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) decided to inaugurate a stand in Wankhede Stadium after his name.
A few weeks prior to that, the 38-year-old announced his retirement from the longest format of the game. He drew curtains on his Test career after representing India in 67 matches. The right-hander also has 4,301 runs, including 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries, with a highest score of 212 runs.
Earlier, Rohit also hung up his boots in the shortest format of the game following Team India's T20 World Cup triumph in 2024. The veteran is now left with just one format (One-Day Internationals).
