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.
1. Jofra Archer
Jofra Archer became part of Mumbai at INR eight crore in the IPL 2022 auction. The England pacer was trusted by MI to assist their fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah to strengthen their pace attack. He missed the entire 2022 installment of the mega T20 league due to an elbow injury.
Archer participated in IPL 2023 for MI and his responsibility was to lead Mumbai’s pace attack in the absence of Bumrah, who missed the entire season due to a back injury. In Bumrah’s unavailability, the 28-year-old England speedster played five matches and got only two wickets at an economy of 9.50.
Following IPL 2023, Archer missed Ashes 2023 and World Cup 2023 after the recurrence of his elbow injury. Noting his poor fitness and underwhelming performance in IPL 2023, MI might release the star pacer to pick up some other bowling option in the upcoming business event in Dubai.
