Mumbai Indians Appoint Vinay Kumar As Talent Scout

Kumar is the second recent player to join the MI scouting division after Parthiv Patel, who too retired from international cricket recently. 

“I am honored for this opportunity to associate with Mumbai Indians again. Mumbai Indians strives for excellence in every aspect of the game, and scouting talents is undoubtedly their key strength. It’s a new chapter and personally, I reckon it as an opportunity for me to give back to cricket," Vinay said.

“I am delighted to have Vinay join our talent scout programme. Mumbai Indians is established on strong fundamentals of discovering talent and belief in nurturing youth. I am confident Vinay will add value to our ideology and scouting strength,” Akash Ambani, MI's owner, said.
