Suresh Raina wants Mumbai Indians to release star all-rounder ahead of IPL 2026, his name is...

The next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to commence in March next year. The IPL 2026 mini-auction will be held in December; however, franchises will also have to make retention announcements ahead of the Auction. Ahead of the retention announcements, former Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s star all-rounder has a piece of advice for the Nita Ambani-owned Mumbai Indians, and he wants them to release Will Jacks and Mujeeb Ur Rahman from their squad.

All IPL franchises will have to submit their list of retained players by November 15, ahead of the mini-auction.

While speaking on Star Sports, Raina said, ''They should hold him (Rohit Sharma), he has won a lot of trophies for them. Deepak Chahar is just in, it depends on what options they have, so they can either release him or retain him, but they might not get players at the auction, so I think they should retain him. They should retain him (Trent Boult), he is a gun player, the advantage that he has as a left-arm bowler, they should retain him.''
