Mumbai Indians have called up West Indies fast bowler Jerome Taylor to replace the injured Sri Lankan paceman Lasith Malinga for the remainder of the VIVO IPL 2016.
Taylor will be available for selection for MI subject to the completion of contractual paperwork formalities. The pacer has previously played in IPL representing KXIP and Pune franchise.
Mumbai Indians pace spearhead Lasith Malinga was ruled out after the medical team found him unfit because of a recurring knee injury. He has played 98 matches in VIVO IPL since joining the Mumbai Indians in 2009 season.
