Oval Invincibles are likely to be renamed as MI London after the Mumbai Indians invested a stake in the franchise. The management will surely want to have some players common across leagues. Here, we take a look at the list of three MI London cricketers the Mumbai Indians can target in the future.
We have already seen the likes of Trent Boult play for multiple Mumbai Indians franchises. The list could increase in the coming days.
1) Gus Atkinson
Mumbai Indians always ensure that there is space for a second foreign pacer in the playing XI. This has been a trademark in their title-winning sides in the past. The current combination can also afford this. However, apart from Trent Boult, there are no other reliable foreign pacers in the team. Hence, Atkinson, if he is fit, can be a suitable signing for the franchise.
2) Jason Behrendorff is one of the MI London cricketers the Mumbai Indians can target in the future
Reece Topley as Trent Boult’s backup may not be a right choice considering his injury record. Hence, Jason Behrendorff, who has brilliant in the last BBL, can be a signing for MI.
3) Jordan Cox
Mumbai Indians will need a foreign backup for Ryan Rickelton. While Jamie Smith could be the ideal target, if the youngster goes beyond a value, Jordan Cox can be an exciting investment for the franchise. He has the necessary skills to make an impact in the IPL.
