Proteas seamer Corbin Bosch has been added to the Mumbai Indians’ squad for the 2025 Indian Premier League.

Bosch has replaced fellow South African seamer Lizaad Williams in the Mumbai squad.

“Williams is ruled out of the upcoming IPL due to an injury and Mumbai have signed his compatriot Bosch as his replacement,” read a statement from the IPL.

“Bosch, a bowling all-rounder, has represented South Africa in one Test and two ODIs and has played 86 T20s. The 30-year-old made his international debut in December and was also included in the Proteas’ 15-member squad for the Champions Trophy as a replacement for the injured Anrich Nortje.

“Yet to make his IPL debut, Bosch was previously part of the Rajasthan Royals and was signed by the franchise in 2022 as a replacement for Australia’s Nathan Coulter-Nile.”

Meanwhile, England batsman Harry Brook has withdrawn from the Delhi Capitals’ squad for this year’s IPL. Delhi have not named Brooks’ replacement yet. South African batsman Lhuan-dre Pretorius is an option.

Pretorius was the leading run-scorer in the SA20 earlier this year. He has since been signed by Hampshire for the T20 Blast in England – and has hit two centuries for the Titans in the ongoing One-Day Cup, division one, in South Africa.

“I have made the very difficult decision to pull out of the upcoming IPL. I apologise unreservedly to the Delhi Capitals and their supporters. I love cricket. Ever since I was a young boy, I have dreamt of playing for my country, and I am extremely thankful to have the opportunity to play the game I love at this level,” said Brook.

Last week, the Sunrisers Hyderabad replaced injured England fast bowler Brydon Carse with South African all-rounder Wiaan Mulder.
