Ashwin confirmed that five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have received Shardul Thakur in a trade from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
All ten IPL franchises are set to submit their lists of retained and released players by the November 15 deadline, ahead of the mini-auction scheduled for next month.
Ashwin stated that MI is unlikely to release any major players before the auction. He added that their primary concern would be finding a suitable backup for the injury-prone Deepak Chahar and possibly adding another spinner to strengthen the squad.
(They won't even release anyone. Their biggest factor will be whether they will look for a replacement for Deepak Chahar, who's a bit injury-prone?)," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
