IPL MI team 2023 players list: Mumbai Indians retained players 2023 list

All the ten IPL franchises have submitted their list of retained and released players ahead of the IPL 2023 mini auction, scheduled to take place on December 23 in Kochi.

The biggest news of the day came from the Mumbai Indians’ management, when the West Indies T20 legend Kieron Pollard decided to announce his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL), thereby ending his 13-season-long association with the franchise.

Pollard had become an integral part of the MI set-up during the 2010 season, and has since then been part of the squad till the 2022 season.

Having said that, the franchise has made sure to end his stint only in the capacity of a player, as he has accepted their offer to become the batting coach for the upcoming season, replacing Robin Singh.

After a disappointing season this year, the Indians’ have decided to release a total of 13 players from their present squad (including Pollard), with Daniel Sams, Fabien Alllen, Riley Meredith, and Tymal Mills as the other overseas players in the list.
