Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Mumbai Indians and four-time winners Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, have submitted their final retention list ahead of the IPL 2023 Retention deadline on Tuesday (November 15). According to a report, Rohit Sharma’s MI have decided to release start all-rounder and former captain Kieron Pollard along with fellow West Indies all-rounder Fabian Allen and England pacer Tymal Mills.

CSK, who failed to qualify for the IPL 2022 Playoffs, have retained former captain Ravindra Jadeja but decided to release international cricketers like Chris Jordan and New Zealand duo of Adam Milne and Mitchell Santner. MI and CSK are two of the most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Mumbai Indians, who also failed to reach the IPL 2022 Playoffs, also traded Australian left-arm pacer Jason Behrendorff to bolster their pace bowling lineup which was severely jolted by an injury to England fast bowler Jofra Archer. The left-armer has been a part of the MI Family in 2018 and the 2019 title winning season, and will see him return for the 2023 season in the Blue and Gold.

The mini-auction for the IPL 2023 will be held on December 23 in Kochi with the likes of Pollard, Jordan, Santner and Milne going into the auction now. Ahead of the auction, the BCCI has asked each franchise to provide the list of retained and released players by November 15.
