Mumbai Indians have signed up left-arm pacer Beuran Hendricks as replacement for the injured Alzarri Joseph for the rest of the Indian Premier League 2019. The South African pacer has previously been a part of King XI Punjab's set-up in IPL.

Joseph sustained an injury on his right arm during MI's game against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede stadium on April 13. The West Indian pacer, who came in as a replacement for the injured Adam Milne, hurt his right arm while trying to stop a boundary hit by Shreyas Gopal in the 19th over of RR's innings. The tall fast bowler had earlier taken his career best T20 figures of 6 for 12 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Hendricks, the 28-year-old, has played 64 T20s, picking up 89 scalps at an average of just over 20. He has also played two ODIs and 10 T20Is for South Africa
