Mumbai Indians have arguably had one of their worst IPL campaigns this season. The five-time champions were the first franchise to be eliminated from the playoff race, after losing eight consecutive matches. Each existing franchise was allowed only four retentions prior to the Mega Auction, and as such, the entire composition of the MI squad was shaken.

Mumbai had to release several key players, and due to a limited purse, could not go after them in the auction. The most successful IPL franchise certainly did not have a great auction strategy, as they went after players with lesser reputations than the well-established stars. Now, prior to the IPL 2023 auction, each franchise is allowed an unlimited number of retentions.

However, it is likely that given their disastrous outing in this campaign, Mumbai will release a few players. Moreover, the likes of Ben Stokes, and Sam Curran are expected to be in the auction pool next season. This gives Mumbai even more of an incentive to release the players who have not been able to perform well or fit into their squad this season.

Here are the three players, MI might release prior to IPL 2023:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-618690" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Tymal-Mills.jpg" alt="Tymal Mills" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-618690" class="wp-caption-text">Tymal Mills.

Tymal Mills did not have a particularly good season with Mumbai Indians, as his tenure was cut short by an ankle injury, which ruled him out of IPL 2022. The English pacer played five matches this season, picking up six wickets, which is a pretty decent figure. However, the left-arm pacer was very expensive with the ball, going at an economy rate of over 11.

English speedster, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mahela-jayawardene-opens-up-on-jofra-archers-availability-for-mi-in-ipl/">Jofra Archer</a> is expected to join the Mumbai Indians squad next season, to form a lethal bowling attack with Jasprit Bumrah. Hence, we may see Tymal Mills being released by the franchise ahead of the next year&#8217;s auction. Moreover, Mumbai also have left-arm pacers in the form of Daniel Sams and Jaydev Unadkat to call upon.

Tymal Mills is a death-over specialist, and rarely bowls with the new ball. With Jofra Archer&#8217;s arrival, the right arm pacer will bowl in the slog overs, alongside Jasprit Bumrah. Hence, it makes all the more sense for Mumbai to release Tymal Mills.

West Indian all-rounder Fabian Allen was another signing made by Mumbai Indians, which did not work out to plan. The spinner just got one opportunity, picking up one wicket and conceding 46 runs at an economy rate of 11.50. The all-rounder can feel hard done by, given the lack of chances this season.

However, given the composition of the Mumbai squad, Fabian Allen was never a good signing. Instead, what Mumbai lacked was someone who could at least fill in a part of the void left by now Gujarat skipper, Hardik Pandya. It would be surprising to see if Fabian Allen is still with Mumbai Indians for IPL 2023.

Mumbai will certainly go after a quality all-rounder in the next auction. With Kieron Pollard having a below-average season, the franchise will surely look to plan for the future. Moreover, with a limited number of overseas quota per squad, MI will look to find a better suited option than Fabian Allen.

Leg-spinner Mayank Markande rose to the limelight in 2018, after a breakthrough season with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/mi-mumbai-indians/?page=1">Mumbai Indians</a>. After a couple of uneventful seasons with Rajasthan Royals, Mayank was once again bought at the Mega Auction by Mumbai. With just two pure spinners in their ranks, in the form of Murugan Ashwin and Mayank Markande, it was expected that the latter would play a decent enough role in MI&#8217;s campaign this season.

However, that was not the case, as the youngster played just two games this season. The leg-spinner warmed the bench for almost the entirety of the season, as the likes of Murugan Ashwin and Hrithik Shokeen gained precedence in terms of the pecking order.

Mumbai&#8217;s handling of Mayank Markande sends across a clear sign that the spinner is not a part of the long-term plan. Instead, Mumbai would seek to go after a quality international spinner, who could really turnaround games for the side in the middle overs.

3 Players MI are likely to release ahead of IPL 2023

After a disastrous IPL season, Mumbai Indians will surely look to release a few of players ahead of the 2023 edition.
