NEW DELHI: West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd has been traded to the Mumbai Indians (MI) from the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) before the 2024 Indian Premier League season.
The 28-year-old cricketer from Guyana was initially acquired by LSG for Rs 50 lakh. However, he only featured in a single game during the IPL 2023 season.
"Romario Shepherd has been traded to Mumbai Indians (MI) from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) during the ongoing TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) trading window ahead of the TATA IPL 2024," read an IPL media statement.
During the IPL 2022 auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad made a significant investment, spending a substantial Rs 7.75 crore to acquire Romario Shepherd's services. However, despite this high price tag, he got to play in only three games during his debut season.
