In the absence of the injured Jasprit Bumrah, all eyes will be on Archer to fill the void left the Indian. “Losing Bumrah has been a big loss for us, I will be honest with that. With losing players, you sometimes get opportunities,” coach Mark Boucher said on the Indian spearhead’s injury.
“The way Mumbai Indians have selected their squads over the last few years is that you select your playing eleven, you select your back-up eleven, and then you invest in a couple of youngsters for the future. It’s now time for those youngsters to show up and basically get the opportunity.
“For me, the big thing for the bowling line-up is that we have got experience, but we have one or two spaces for the youngsters to come through and really showcase their skills. I am really looking forward to seeing them.”
The Mumbai Indians begin their IPL campaign against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2.
