MI New York and MI Cape Town are important to the cricket ecosystem of the Mumbai Indians family. These two franchises also provide a few players to the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two MI New York cricketers Mumbai Indians can target for IPL 2026.
1) Michael Bracewell
The Kiwi will be a good backup for both Will Jacks and Mitchell Santner. If MI struggles with their batting order, they can have Tilak at No.3, drop Will Jacks and play Bracewell after Hardik Pandya. This would add firepower while finishing the game while also giving Tilak a chance to play at his preferred slot.
2) Naveen-ul-Haq can be a target for Mumbai Indians for IPL 2026
Rather than a backup for Trent Boult, Mumbai Indians need a foreign pacer who can be a solution in the middle overs. MI already has Deepak Chahar, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah to do well in the powerplay if Boult is unavailable. In this regard, Naveen is a decent option for the side. He has a lot of variations and is someone who can bowl in multiple phases of the game.
