New Delhi, April 6 Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Ind (MI) on Thursday named Riley Meredith as a replacement for fellow Australian and injured fast bowler Jhye Richardson.

As per an official statement from the franchise, Richardson is suffering from a hamstring injury and was ruled out of IPL 2023.

Meredith has played five T20Is, picking up eight wickets that includes a three-wicket haul, apart from one ODI appearance for Australia.

He has represented the Punjab Kings & Mumbai Ind in the previous editions of the IPL, and will now join Mumbai for another stint after the 2022 season for INR 1.5 crores.

Meredith, capable of clocking speeds upwards of 140kph, had played eight games for Mumbai in IPL 2022, picking up eight wickets in his maiden season with the team, after taking four scalps for Punjab in IPL 2021.

He will now join the squad ahead of Mumbai's match against four-time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, considered as the 'El Clasico' game of the tournament.

Mumbai had lost their IPL 2023 opening match to Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. It also marked the 11th consecutive time Mumbai lost their opening game of the tournament.
