The IPL Technical Committee on Saturday approved Mumbai Indians’ request to replace injured pacer Zaheer Khan with Praveen Kumar.
“The IPL Event Technical Committee has approved Praveen Kumar as a replacement player for Zaheer Khan for the remainder of the Pepsi IPL 2014 season,” the IPL said in a statement.
“Praveen is eligible to play for Mumbai Indians with immediate effect.”
Interestingly, Kumar had gone unsold at the player auction held earlier this year. — PTI
