Lizaad Williams has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to injury. Mumbai Indians South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been named as his replacement in the MI squad.
Williams has been sidelined from IPL 2025 due to injury. The South African pacer, who was bought by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction at his base price of INR 75 Lakhs, will unfortunately miss out on the tournament.
Corbin Bosch, a 30-year-old South African bowling all-rounder, is a right-hand batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. He has no prior IPL experience and initially went unsold in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction at a base price of INR 30 lakhs.
Now, Mumbai Indians have signed him for the same amount as a replacement for Lizaad Williams. Notably, Bosch is already associated with the Mumbai Indians franchise, having played for MI Cape Town in SA20.

Corbin Bosch is in excellent form, with a strong performance in the recent SA20 2025 tournament. He picked up 11 wickets in 8 matches at an economy rate of 8.68. Bosch was a key part of MI Cape Town’s maiden title-winning campaign. In the SA20 final against Sunrisers Eastern Cape, he contributed with a crucial wicket, helping MI Cape Town secure the championship.
Corbin Bosch was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL 2025 Draft under the Diamond category in January. However, he has now secured an IPL contract with Mumbai Indians as a replacement for Lizaad Williams.
With PSL 2025 scheduled to be played in April-May, it directly clashes with IPL 2025, raising questions about his availability for Peshawar Zalmi. Given his IPL contract, Bosch is expected to prioritize Mumbai Indians over PSL.
Will Corbin Bosch be part of MI playing XI in IPL 2025?
His selection will depend on the team’s combination and overseas player availability. With Jasprit Bumrah set to miss a few games, Bosch might get a chance in the playing XI.
