IPL 2023: 3 players who can replace Jhye Richardson in Mumbai Indians squad
Jhye Richardson was earlier ruled out of the IPL as a precautionary measure after he had undergone hamstring surgery.
3. Riley Meredith
Riley Meredith too can be considered as an alternative for Jhye Richardson. A raw speedster, Meredith can deliver searing pace with the ball. The Tasmanian bowler has displayed effectiveness and can bowl at any stage of the game.
In the T20 arena, Meredith has a century of wickets from 77 matches at an economy of 8.33. Playing for Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL, he has been an important part of the team. In the recent Big Bash season, the right-handed fast bowler finished as the highest wicket-taker for Hobart Hurricanes with 21 scalps.
Being a part of MI last year, Meredith wasn’t given too many chances but performed decently in whatever little opportunities came his way, picking 8 wickets from equinumerous matches. The Hobart-born cricketer can be a deadly prospect and can therefore fill the void of an overseas fast bowler.
