As far as the departures of MI are concerned apart from Pollard, Fab Allen & Tymal Millis have also been released.   Pollard was playing with Mumbai Indians since 2010 but struggled to make an impact last year and thus it doesn’t come as a surprise that he has been released. The upcoming IPL 2023 mini-auction is set to take place on December 23 in Kochi, with teams finalising details for the 16th edition of the cash-rich league.

November 15 was the deadline provided by BCCI to all franchises to submit their list of retained and released players.  According to Zee 24 taas, MI and CSK have already submitted their respective lists to the BCCI.  After an unforgettable IPL 2022 season which saw the most successful team in IPL’s history finish last in the league table, MI have decided to shed some deadwood as they have retained 10 players while releasing five players.
