IPL 2016: England’s Jos Buttler bought by Mumbai Indians

England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler will play for the reigning champions Mumbai Indians in the 9th edition of Indian Premier League after the mega-rich club bought him for £385,000 in the IPL 2016 auction.


The 25-year-old has decided to play in the highly lucrative and popular Twenty20 domestic competition in India after losing his Test place to Jonny Bairstow.

Cricket fans will be hoping that a few tweaks here and there will be enough to allow them to enjoy next Indian Premier League without too much nail-biting.
