    Riley Meredith will be a like-to-like replacement for Jhye Richardson. Meredith is tall and pacy. In addition to that, he also likes to extract extra bounce from the surface. The right-handed pacer was placed at the base price of INR 1.5 crore in the auctions but no team signed him up.

    Riley Meredith was a part of the Mumbai Indians’ squad in the IPL 2022 and had a decent return with eight wickets in eight matches. The Blues might be tempted to bring him back to the Wankhede as the surface might suit his bowling style.

    Riley Meredith had another solid season in the Big Bash League 2022-23 as he accounted for 21 wickets in 14 matches at an economy rate of 8.10. Mumbai Indians will get their hands on an in-form pacer if they decide to sign Riley Meredith as the replacement for the fellow Aussie.
