It is going to be difficult for Ben Cutting to stay with Mumbai Indians. The Australian all-rounder had a quiet IPL 2019 as he could manage just 18 runs in the three innings he played. Moreover, the right-arm seamer could only scalp a solitary wicket in the same number of innings.

However, it is not just Cutting's sub-par IPL performances that could lead to his departure from Mumbai Indians. The combination in the squad also works against him.

The defending champions already have all-rounders like Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya in their ranks. In other words, it is always going to be difficult for Cutting to make the cut into the final XI on a regular basis.

The Australian has the skills to turn any match on its head with either bat or ball. But he might not be retained by the reigning champions for IPL 2020.
