IPL 2024: Romario Shepherd joins Mumbai Indians from Lucknow Super Giants

Romario Shepherd on Friday became the first player to be traded in the IPL 2024 trading window as he joined Mumbai Indians (MI) from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). “Lucknow se Mumbai. We have acquired the services of West Indian All Rounder Romario Shepherd following a successful trade with LSG,” Mumbai Indians wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Shepherd, who has played 4 IPL matches, representing LSG and Sunrisers Hyderabad, was traded to MI for his existing fee of INR 50 Lakh. In 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad spent Rs 7.75 crore for Romario during the auction but the West Indian played only three matches in his debut season. Meanwhile, it has also been reported that the IPl auction for the 2024 edition will take place in Dubai on 19 December. This will be the first time an IPL auction will be held outside India.
