Beuran Hendricks joins Mumbai Indians as replacement for injured Alzarri Joseph

The South African comes in for Joseph, who has been ruled out of the tournament with a dislocated right arm.

Mumbai Indians have signed up Beuran Hendricks for the rest of their Indian Premier League campaign after losing Alzarri Joseph to injury.

The West Indian has been ruled out for the remainder of the competition after dislocating his right arm in the five-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals.

Joseph burst on the scene on his IPL debut, taking 6-12 in victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad - the best bowling figures in the tournament's history.

But having struggled to replicate that display the 22-year-old will now have a watching brief.

Hendricks, who represented Kings XI Punjab in the IPL in 2014 and 2015, is available for the final four games of the round robin stage as well as the playoffs.

He could make his first appearance on Friday when Mumbai face Chennai Super Kings.

The left-armer has made two one-day international and 10 Twenty20 outings for South Africa during his career.
