Mumbai Indians (MI) have named Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman as the replacement for Allah Ghazanfar, the franchise announced on February 16 (Sunday).
"Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman is all set to make his way into the #OneFamily as a replacement for his compatriot AM Ghazanfar, who sadly misses out owing to an injury," MI said in a statement.
"Mujeeb, the right-handed mystery spinner renowned for his exploits across the globe, will be our latest addition to the Blue & Gold army."
Ghazanfar, who was roped in by MI for INR 4.8 crore in the IPL auction, was earlier ruled out of the tournament due to a "fracture in the L4 vertebra, specifically in the left pars interarticularis."
Mujeeb has previously played for Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL, picking up a total of 19 wickets in as many matches in the IPL.
Overall, Mujeeb has picked up 275 wickets at an economy rate of under seven in T20 cricket since making his debut in 2017.
