The
first
grade
match
was
26-year-old’s
first
since
straining
his
hamstring
on
January
4
while
playing
for
his
Big
Bash
League
(BBL)
side
Perth
Scorchers
against
Sydney
Thunders.
The
injury
was
initially
diagnosed
as
minor,
and
it
was
expected
that
the
express
would
return
for
the
BBL
finals.
However,
he
hasn’t
played
any
major
cricket
including
Marsh
Cup
or
Sheffield
Shield
matches
since.
Regardless,
Richardson
was
selected
in
Australia’s
16-member
ODI
squad
for
the
three-match
ODI
series
against
India
that
starts
from
March
17
in
Mumbai.
Nathan
Ellis
replaces
Jhye
Richardson
Right-arm
pacer
Nathan
Ellis,
who
has
played
three
ODIs
during
Australia’s
Pakistan
tour
last
year,
has
been
called
up
as
Richardson’s
replacement.
Jhye
Richardson
unlikely
to
feature
for
Mumbai
Indians
in
IPL
2023
Richardson’s
injury
has
also
cast
shadow
on
his
stint
with
Mumbai
Indians
(MI)
in
the
upcoming
IPL
2023.
He
was
bought
by
five-time
champions
Mumbai
Indians
(MI)
for
his
base
price
of
Rs
1.50
crore.
A
few
media
reports
have
recently
suggested
that
Jasprit
Bumrah
is
also
likely
to
miss
all
the
matches
for
Mumbai
Indians.
The
India
pace
spearhead
has
been
battling
a
recurring
back
injury
which
ruled
him
out
of
the
Asia
Cup
and
T20
World
Cup
2022.
In
that
scenario,
Mumbai
would
be
relying
heavily
on
Jofra
Archer
who
is
returning
back
from
a
prolonged
break
due
to
injury
and
is
expected
to
be
available
for
the
whole
of
IPL
2023.
Australia’s
Jason
Behrendoff
is
the
other
recognised
pacer
in
the
squad.
