Mujeeb Ur Rahman has replaced fellow Afghan spinner Allah Ghazanfar in the Mumbai Indians roster after Ghazanfar was ruled out with a spinal fracture, the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise said on Sunday.
Ghazanfar, 18, sustained the injury during Afghanistan's tour of Zimbabwe in December-January and will miss at least four months, ruling him out of this month's Champions Trophy, the Afghanistan Cricket Board had announced on Wednesday.
"Mumbai Indians wish Ghazanfar a speedy recovery and a warm welcome to Mujeeb," Mumbai posted on X.
