Allah Ghazanfar, a young Afghan spinner, sustained a serious injury during Afghanistan’s tour to Zimbabwe. As a result, Mumbai Indians have announced the signing of Mujeeb Ur Rahman as a replacement for Ghazanfar in the upcoming IPL 2025 season. Ghazanfar suffered a fracture in the L4 vertebra, ruling him out of not only the IPL but also the Champions Trophy. Mujeeb, known for his impressive performance at a young age, has played over 300 T20 games and taken 330 wickets. Mumbai Indians had originally signed Ghazanfar for ₹4.80 crore in the IPL mega auction. The team wishes Ghazanfar a speedy recovery and welcomes Mujeeb into the squad. This move comes as a strategic decision to strengthen the team’s spin bowling department.
