Trent Boult is rumoured to have made the decision to play in the remaining IPL 2025. The Mumbai Indians (MI) will benefit from it since Boult has been instrumental in their success this season, as they have recovered from a poor start to become a serious playoff candidate.
Trent Boult, 36, cost INR 12.5 crore (about US$ 1.49 million), making him MI’s most costly purchase at the most recent mega auction.
The left-arm fast has demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the finest; with 18 wickets at an economy rate of 8.49, he is now MI’s top wicket-taker and tied for fourth place in the competition. Due to his 4 for 26 performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on the road, he was also named Player-of-the-Match.
The rescheduling of the IPL after its one-week suspension on May 10 could have a significant effect on MI and other franchises. Three of the five-time champions’ top foreign players are still pending: England batting all-rounder Will Jacks, the South African duo of Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch.
Cricket SA announced on Tuesday that talks were underway with the BCCI to determine the next steps, and that the NOCs granted to South African players competing in the IPL were only valid until May 25, the tournament’s initial finish date. South Africa’s team for the World Test Championship (WTC) final includes Rickelton and Bosch. According to CSA, the players must get together by the end of May in order to get ready for the major Test match.
As for Jacks, he has heard that the ECB has instructed England players who are leaving for the IPL to come back in time for the May 29 commencement of the home ODI series against the WC.
