IPL 2026: Will Jacks is available for selection for the Mumbai Indians’ Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, April 22, 2026, but his inclusion in the playing XI will be decided at the toss.

MI confirmed that Jacks has rejoined the squad after completing prior commitments, having missed the early part of the season following an extended break from international cricket.

The 27-year-old all-rounder adds depth to MI’s top order and provides a part-time off-spin option. He is capable of batting across multiple positions and has previously been used as an aggressive option during the powerplay.

Will Jacks arrives in strong form after delivering several impactful performances for England at the T20 World Cup earlier this year. He scored 226 runs at an average of 56.50 and a strike rate of 176.56, while also taking nine wickets. Jacks was named in the ICC Team of the Tournament.

Both MI and CSK head into the contest with identical records, having won two of their six matches so far. Mumbai are placed seventh on the points table with four points, just ahead of CSK, who are eighth due to an inferior net run rate.

With both teams looking to revive their campaigns, team combinations remain under focus, and a final decision on Jacks’ inclusion will depend on pitch conditions and tactical requirements.
