Mumbai Indians might not even pick as a spinner as a replacement for the injured Allah Ghazanfar. That is because there are not many spinners of the Afghan’s calibre. Here, we take a look at the list of three batters Mumbai Indians could pick as a replacement for Allah Ghazanfar.
1) Ben Duckett
It is a surprise that Ben did not find a bidder at the recent auctions. However, teams will be interested in him as a injury replacement.
Ben can also keep wickets and could even operate in the middle order. He will also be ideal for the Wankhede pitch in Mumbai.
2) Dewald Brevis could be a replacement for Allah Ghazanfar
Dewald Brevis is one of the batters Mumbai Indians could pick as a replacement for Allah Ghazanfar. The youngster was in fine form in the recent SA20.
MI needs a batter at No.6 or No.7. Brevis did that role to perfection in the recent SA20 League. Hence, MI could consider bringing him back to the unit.
3) Lhuan-dre Pretorius
Lhuan-dre Pretorius will be in great demand in the coming months. Teams will want to secure the services of the player, who is seen as a future star.
Mumbai Indians will be reliant on KL Shrijith, Robin Minz and Ryank Rickelton as the wicket-keeping options. All are yet to play in IPL. Hence, they might add another option to be safe.
