Tymal Mills ruled out for remainder of IPL season

Mumbai Indians have signed uncapped South African Tristan Stubbs as a replacement for the England left-armer

England international Tymal Mills has been ruled out of the remainder of this year's Indian Premier League after he sustained an ankle injury against Lucknow Super Giants on April 16.

Mills played five matches for Mumbai Indians this season, taking six wickets at an economy of 11.17. The injury is a minor one, and he is expected to be fit for Sussex's first T20 Blast game later this month.

Mills has represented England on 12 occasions in T20s, most recently in West Indies where England narrowly lost a five-match series.

Stubbs has enjoyed a strong domestic season for the Warriors franchise, scoring 293 runs at an average of 48.83 and a strike rate of 183.12 in the CSA Challenge, making him the second-highest run-scorer in the domestic T20 competition.

He recently made his debut for South Africa A against Zimbabwe.
