AFP[/caption] Mumbai Indians released as many as 12 players from their previous squad, including Jason Behrendorff, Alzarri Joseph and the now-retired Yuvraj Singh. “Going into this December’s auctions for the 2020 edition, Mumbai Indians now have the option of filling up slots for 5 domestic and 2 foreign players during the day-long event in Kolkata,” MI said in a press release. Additionally, Mumbai traded in pacer Trent Boult from Delhi Capitals as well, boosting their pace lineup which already included the likes of Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah. Mumbai have maintained the core of the team. Kings XI Punjab have let go of their long-serving player David Miller, England all-rounder Sam Curran and Australian pacer Andrew Tye from their squad. West Indies legend Chris Gayle, however, is still retained in the squad. Delhi Capitals have traded in R Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane from Rajasthan Royals while trading out Trent Boult and two spinners in Rahul Tewatia and Mayank Markande. Kolkata Knight Riders have signed up Siddhesh Lad, who was traded out by Mumbai Indians.
