The IPL Technical Committee on Monday approved the replacement of injured Corey Anderson in the Mumbai Indians squad.

The New Zealand all-rounder suffered injuries to his left hand on April 14 and 17. The injuries have not healed in time for him to play in the league matches, said a BCCI media release.

Anderson was scheduled to join the New Zealand Test squad in England.

If the Mumbai Indians choose to pick a replacement player, then he will be eligible to play in their remaining matches of the ongoing season, including the playoffs, in case the team qualifies for the same.

The Technical Committee of the IPL consists of Anurag Thakur (Hony. Secretary, BCCI), Sourav Dasgupta, Subir Ganguly, Sourav Ganguly and Ravi Shastri.
