Mumbai Indians received a significant boost after English all-rounder Will Jacks confirmed his availability for the IPL 2025 through an Instagram post on Friday. This comes at a critical juncture as the tournament prepares to resume on May 17 after an unexpected one-week hiatus.

The IPL 2025’s final phase was postponed following escalating geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan. The disruption was triggered by a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, South Kashmir, on April 22, which led to heightened national security measures.
