Mumbai Indians
The remaining matches of IPL 2025 will be played from 17 May. A total of 17 matches will be played in the tournament, including league stage and playoffs. Meanwhile, IPL teams are constantly changing before the tournament resumes. In this episode, a big change is going to happen in the team of Mumbai Indians. In fact, the team’s batsman Will Jacks will not be available for the playoff matches and Johnny Bairstow will be replaced in the team.
Will Jacks League will leave Mumbai after the stage match
If Mumbai Indians qualify for the IPL play-off, Johnny Bairstow will join Mumbai Indians as a temporary replacement of Jax. For this, talks are going on between Bairstow and Mumbai Indians franchisees. Jax is back to India for Mi’s last two group-stage matches, but due to international matches he will not be available for playoff matches. In fact, when the playoffs of IPL are played, ODI series will be played between England and West Indies. Will Jacks is part of the English team for that ODI series.
If Johnny Bairstow gets NOC from the England Board, he will join the Mumbai Indians team for playoff matches. Let us tell you that Bairstow was unsold in the mega auction held in November last year. He has not played any match in any format for England since June 2024. He will come to India for IPL after playing for Yorkshire against Surrey at the Oval at the County Championship this week.
