3 Players MI might release ahead of IPL 2024
Before the IPL 2024 auction, the MI team management might part ways with their players who failed to perform upto the expectations in the last two IPL seasons.
2. Riley Meredith
In Jhye Richardson’s absence, MI signed Riley Meredith to bolster their fast-bowling unit. It was an incredible chance for the Australian player to showcase his bowling mettle but the pacer emerged as a failure. In five outings, he scalped only seven wickets at a terrible economy of 10.52 in IPL 2023.
Meredith was dropped from MI’s playing XI after the match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Wankhede Stadium. Noting his consistent failure with the ball, captain Rohit Sharma didn’t trust him for the remaining matches. In his last appearance against RR, the Aussie speedster took Dhruv Jurel’s wicket but splurged 51 runs in his four-over spell.
Richardson, who couldn’t show up for Mumbai in IPL 2023, recently made a comeback from his shoulder injury for Western Australia in the Marsh Cup. Before the IPL 2024, Richardson might mark his presence for MI. With Richardson’s availability, the MI team management might not give Meredith a place in its list of retained players.
