Mumbai Indians Name Former CSK Star Among Others As Replacements for Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch for IPL 2025
Mumbai Indians (MI) have brought in three new players to replace Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch, who will leave the team after their last league match in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 because of international commitments. These new signings are expected to add experience and depth to the squad as they head into the important final phase of the tournament.
Mumbai Indians Sign Bairstow, Gleeson, and Asalanka as Playoff Replacements
England’s Jonny Bairstow has been named as the replacement for Will Jacks. The explosive wicketkeeper-batter will join the squad at a price of INR 5.25 crore. Fast bowler Richard Gleeson, also from England, will take Ryan Rickelton’s place and comes in at a reserve price of INR 1 crore.
Sri Lankan batter Charith Asalanka will replace Corbin Bosch and has been signed at a reserve price of INR 75 lakh. All three players will be available to play only from the Playoffs stage, if Mumbai Indians manage to qualify.

National Commitments Leave MI Without Key Players
Will Jacks has been picked for England’s ODI and T20I series against West Indies, which begins on May 29 — the same day the IPL 2025 playoffs start. Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch have been selected for South Africa’s squad for the World Test Championship Final against Australia on June 11. However, Cricket South Africa has asked all its IPL players to return by May 26. This means all three players will not be available for Mumbai Indians if they qualify for the playoffs.
Mumbai Indians are currently fourth in the points table with 14 points from 12 matches. They will next face Delhi Capitals, who are just behind with 13 points. A win will confirm Mumbai’s place in the playoffs. However, if they lose, they must beat Punjab Kings in their final game and hope Delhi lose their last match for MI to qualify.
