The defending champions Mumbai Indians may miss the services of their legendary fast bowler Lasith Malinga in IPL 2020. Reports suggest that Malinga’s father is not well, which is why he has not decided to travel to the UAE. There is a possibility that he may travel later, but he will miss most of the league matches.
Since there is a large amount of uncertainty over his future in IPL 2020, Mumba Indians might be looking at the potential replacement players they could sign if Malinga does not play. In this article, we will look at those five players who can Malinga’s spot in Mumbai’s squad.

With IPL 2020 set to happen on the spin-friendly pitches in the UAE, Mumbai may look to bolster their spin-bowling attack by signing an overseas spinner. Adam Zampa has troubled the Indian batsmen in the past and could be a welcome addition to the Mumbai camp.

Mumbai has shown special interest in West Indian players. Kieron Pollard and Alzarri Joseph did well for them, which is why Mumbai could sign spin bowler Walsh as a replacement.
