IPL Auction 2020: List of players released and retained by Mumbai Indians after the trade window

The most successful franchise in the history of IPL, Mumbai Indians, will look to defend their title successfully when they take to the field in IPL 2020. With the IPL 2020 Auction just a few weeks away, the MI's think tank would have surely laid out the game plan for the upcoming season.

As the Mumbai-based franchise got Trent Boult and Dhawal Kulkarni in the trade window, their fast bowling attack looks stronger than ever. These acquisitions have prompted Mumbai to release a host of fast bowlers, namely Adam Milne, Jason Behrendorff, Beuran Hendricks, Rasikh Salam, Barinder Sran and Alzarri Joseph from the squad.

Furthermore, the franchise has also released the out-of-favour Evin Lewis from the squad along with Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting. They traded Mayank Markande and Siddhesh Lad during the trade window to Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders respectively.

Nevertheless, Mumbai has a complete squad featuring international stars from all over the globe.

On that note, let us now have a look at the full list of players who have been retained and released by Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2020 Auction.
