Well, I believe it will be extremely difficult for the Mumbai Indians to release Kieron Pollard. He’s been there for a long time. But there are times when you have to make some difficult decisions, and this could be one of them. They must move forward and form a team for the next 4-5 years in order to find someone who can replace Pollard According to Harbhajan.
Pollard, who has made over 600 appearances in the shortest format, was previously signed by Mumbai Indians for INR 6 crore. In IPL 2022, the 35-year-old played 11 matches and scored 144 runs for Mumbai Indians. In terms of Pollard’s replacement, Harbhajan believes Mumbai can target Australia’s Cameroon Green in the IPL 2023 auction.source: cricket insiderYes, they have Tim David, who can do a similar job, and of course, Cameroon Green is another Australian in the auction. I believe he will be considered for a position in the Mumbai setup. Of course, it will be a difficult decision, but you must make those decisions at some point Harbhajan elaborated.
