Mumbai Indians (MI) have signed Jonny Bairstow, Richard Gleeson and Charith Asalanka as temporary replacements for Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch, all of whom will be leaving Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for national duties after the team's last league game, against Punjab Kings in Jaipur on May 26.

MI are yet to secure a playoffs spot, and the replacement players will be available only if they advance.

England wicketkeeper-batter Bairstow, who was unsold at the mega auction, will join at a price of INR 5.25 crore. He comes in as a replacement for allrounder Jacks, who's in the England's white-ball squad for the limited-overs series against the West Indies at home, which kicks off on May 29.

Fast bowler Richard Gleeson, also from England, will join at a reserve price of INR 1 crore and serve as a replacement for Ryan Rickelton, who will be leaving for ICC World Test Championship (WTC) duties. Charith Asalanka will come in at a reserve price of INR 75 lakhs for Corbin Bosch, who's also named in South Africa's squad for WTC final at Lord's.
