5 players MI might release ahead of IPL 2026 auction
Mumbai Indians (MI) finished fourth in IPL 2025 with eight wins.
AM Ghazanfar
Afghanistan leg-spinner AM Ghazanfar is another player who could be released. Despite being bought at a significant price, Ghazanfar did not play a single match in IPL 2025. With Mitchell Santner leading the spin attack and several young spinners performing well, Ghazanfar’s inclusion became redundant.
His limited national presence and average performances in recent tournaments like the Blast 2025 further reduce his chances of retention. Dropping him could free up resources for MI to invest in more impactful spin options.
