Mumbai Indians have signed South African Tristan Stubbs as a replacement for Tymal Mills, who has sustained an ankle injury and has been ruled out of the rest of IPL 2022.
Mills played five matches for Mumbai this season, picking up six wickets at an economy of 11.17. He last played on April 16 against Lucknow Super Giants, where he conceded 54 runs from three wicketless overs. But it's understood the injury is a minor one, and he is expected to be fit for Sussex's first T20 Blast game on May 26.
Stubbs, 21, is a talented middle-order batter and will join Mumbai for a price of INR 20 lakh (approx USD 26,000). He has had a promising domestic season, scoring 293 runs at an average of 48.83 and a strike rate of 183.12 for Warriors in the recently concluded CSA Challenge.
In all, he has scored 506 runs and three half-centuries from 17 T20s, at a strike rate of 157.14. He has also featured in eight first-class and 11 List A games.
He was part of the South Africa A squad for their ongoing tour of Zimbabwe.
