Follow UsFive-time Indian Premier League champions, Mumbai Indians, have acquired the services of Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada and Liam Livingstone as part of the five direct signings for their South African-owned franchise MI Cape Town.
The inaugural edition of the CSA league will commence in January and will feature some of the top international stars.
Apart from them, Dewald Brevis, who made his debut for Mumbai Indians in this edition of the IPL and England all-rounder Sam Curran are the other two direct signings of the franchise.
MI-Cape Town has thus signed three overseas players and one capped South African along with one uncapped South African.
With our direct player signings, we have taken the first step towards building the MI philosophy - having a strong core around which the team will be planned. I am glad to welcome Rashid, Kagiso, Liam, and Sam and happy to have Dewald continue with us on this new journey," team owner Akash Ambani said.
