IPL 2025: Mujeeb-ur-Rahman replaces Allah Ghazanfar in Mumbai Indians
Teenager Allah Ghazanfar has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to an injury.

Mumbai Indians has picked Mujeeb-ur-Rahman as a replacement for Allah Ghazanfar for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Mujeeb-ur-Rahman – a right-arm off-spinner – has played 19 IPL matches and has 19 IPL wickets against his name. He joins MI for Rs 2 crore.
“Mujeeb was one of the youngest ever players to have represented Afghanistan and made an instant impact with the ball leading to an IPL debut at the age of 17,” Mumbai Indians said in a statement.
“Mujeeb has played over 300 T20 (international and domestic) games taking closer to 330 wickets at an economy of around 6.5. Mumbai Indians wish Ghazanfar a speedy recovery.”
Teenage Afghanistan off-spinner AM Ghazanfar has been ruled out of both the ICC Champions Trophy and the IPL due to a lower back fracture that will keep him on the sidelines for at least four months, the Afghanistan Cricket Board had announced.
Ghazanfar sustained the injury during Afghanistan’s tour of Zimbabwe late last year, sidelining him for “at least four months”.
“AM Ghazanfar has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy due to a fracture in the L4 vertebra (located in the lower back), specifically in the left pars interarticularis,” the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) posted on ‘X’.
“He sustained the injury during Afghanistan’s recent tour of Zimbabwe and will be sidelined for a minimum of four months, remaining under treatment during this period,” it added.
The IPL is scheduled to take place from March 21 to May 25 and Ghazanfar was to make his maiden appearance at the event after being bought by Mumbai Indians at the IPL mega auction for Rs 4.8 crore.
