Overview
- Mumbai batting coach Kieron Pollard confirmed Tuesday that Jacks will link up with the squad soon and said he knew of no fitness issues.
- The England all-rounder skipped the first four IPL games after a packed winter that included four Ashes Tests, a Sri Lanka white-ball tour, and the T20 World Cup.
- Mumbai opened 1–3 and sit in the lower half of the table, following Saturday's heavy chase of 241 that fell short against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede.
- Jacks was one of England's standouts at the T20 World Cup with 226 runs and nine wickets, and he logged 223 runs and six wickets for Mumbai in the 2025 IPL.
- He is expected later this week before matches against Punjab Kings and RCB, which could reshape roles that have gone to Sherfane Rutherford and Mitchell Santner in his absence.
