Bowling all-rounder Corbin Bosch is set to join Mumbai Indians as a replacement for fellow South African pacer Lizaad Williams, who has been ruled out of the upcoming IPL due to a knee injury.

The 30-year-old Bosch, who has featured in 86 T20s, has taken 59 wickets and boasts a highest score of 81. He is yet to make his IPL debut but played a key role in MI Cape Town’s title-winning 2025 season in SA20, claiming 11 wickets during the campaign.

“South African fast bowler Lizaad Williams is ruled out of the upcoming TATA IPL 2025 due to an injury, and Mumbai Indians have signed his compatriot Corbin Bosch as his replacement,” MI said in a statement.
