6 Players to watch out for in 2025: Future stars in making

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has banned Mumbai Indians' South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch for one year. The ban comes after Bosch withdrew from Pakistan Super League (PSL) after being selected as a diamond pick by Peshawar Zalmi. Bosch was later picked up as an injury replacement by MI for Lizaad Williams.
"I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the PSL, and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi, and the wider cricket community," Bosch said in a statement released by the PCB. "I fully understand the disappointment caused by my actions.

"To the loyal fans of Peshawar Zalmi, I am truly sorry for letting you down. I take full responsibility for my actions, and accept the consequences, including the penalty fine and the one-year ban from the PSL. This has been a hard lesson, but I am committed to learning from this experience, and hope to return to the PSL in the future with renewed dedication and the trust of the fans," he added.
While the all-rounder is yet to play a game in IPL 2025, he made an impact anyway on the field as a substitute during the game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday (Apr 4). Fielding at mid-off he took a stunning catch to dismiss LSG skipper Rishabh Pant whose horror run continued in fourth straight match of IPL.&nbsp;
<h2>Who is Corbin Bosch</h2>
Bosch hails from South Africa and was a like-for-like replacement for countrymate Williams. It also helped his cause that he had played for MI Cape Town in SA20 in 2024-25 season.
For joining the IPL, he was reprimanded by Pakistan-based PSL where he was supposed to play for Peshawar Zalmi. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) served a legal notice to Bosch for opting out to play in IPL.
Bosch came to IPL anyway after spending three seasons with different IPL-backed franchises in SA20. He played his first season with Paarl Royals before moving to Pretoria Capitals in 2023/24 and then MICT in last season.
He has also played in Caribbean Premier League (CPL) for Barbados Royals in 2022 and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in 2023. He was also part of Rajasthan Royals as a reserve player in the past but is yet to make IPL debut.
Overall, Bosch has played 86 T20s and has scored 663 runs at a strike rate of 113. He also has 59 wickets to his name with a best of 4/19.

Corbin Bosch had no plans whatsoever of playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. He had already been selected in Pakistan Super League (PSL) as a diamond pick. About two weeks before the start of IPL 2025 though, Mumbai Indians suffered an injury setback when Lizaad Williams was ruled out and Bosch was signed up subsequently by MI as replacement.

PCB serves legal notice to Corbin Bosch for ditching PSL for IPL

IPL franchise <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/mumbai-indians" rel="dofollow">Mumbai Indians</a> have roped in South Africa all-rounder Corbin Bosch as a replacement for injured seamer Lizaad Williams ahead of the 18th edition of the IPL starting later this month.

Bosch, 30, was part of the Rajasthan Royals bench before but is yet to make his IPL debut.

His overall T20 stats read 86 matches, 59 wickets at an economy of 8.38 to go with 663 runs, striking at 113.33.

Bosch then made it to South Africa&rsquo;s Champions Trophy squad as an injury replacement but played just one warm-up game in Karachi.&nbsp;

IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians lose foreign seamer to injury, rope in Corbin Bosch as replacement

Johannesburg, South Africa
South Africa named two uncapped fast bowlers in a 16-man squad for a two-match Test series against Pakistan starting in Centurion on December 26.
With an entire battery of fast bowlers unavailable, left-armer Kwena Maphaka and Corbin Bosch were added to the team that beat Sri Lanka in Gqeberha this month. Maphaka is an 18-year-old prodigy who has already been capped at Twenty20 international level while Bosch, the 30-year-old son of former Test fast bowler Tertius, has yet to play for the senior national team.

South Africa included all-rounder Wiaan Mulder and left-arm spin bowler Keshav Maharaj in the squad, but both selections are subject to fitness.
Mulder suffered a broken right middle finger in the first Test against Sri Lanka while Maharaj suffered what Cricket South Africa described as "an acute groin strain" while warming up for the first one-day international against Pakistan in Paarl on Tuesday.
Maharaj was due to have a scan on Wednesday to assess the severity of the injury.
Bosch, who has a first-class batting average above 40, could come into contention if Muller is unfit, while Senuran Muthusamy, also a left-armer, is the only other spin bowler in the squad if Maharaj is ruled out.
South Africa will be assured of a place in next year's World Test Championship final if they win at least one Test against Pakistan – but their bowling resources have been seriously depleted.
Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje, Nandre Burger, Gerald Coetzee and Lizaad Williams have all been sidelined. It will be a blow if Maharaj, South Africa's premier spin bowler, cannot play.
"We head into this series with a clear focus, with a spot in the World Test Championship final being the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," South African coach Shukri Conrad said in a CSA statement.

Maphaka is an 18-year-old prodigy who has already been capped at Twenty20 international level while Bosch, the 30-year-old son of former Test fast bowler Tertius, has yet to play for the senior national team. ALSO READ: BGT: Travis Head quashes injury scare after Gabba draw, insists remaining fit for Boxing Day Test in Melbourne South Africa included all-rounder Wiaan Mulder and left-arm spin bowler Keshav Maharaj in the squad, but both selections are subject to fitness. Mulder suffered a broken right middle finger in the first Test against Sri Lanka while Maharaj suffered what Cricket South Africa described as "an acute groin strain" while warming up for the first one-day international against Pakistan in Paarl on Tuesday. Maharaj was due to have a scan on Wednesday to assess the severity of the injury. Bosch, who has a first-class batting average above 40, could come into contention if Muller is unfit, while Senuran Muthusamy, also a left-armer, is the only other spin bowler in the squad if Maharaj is ruled out. South Africa will be assured of a place in next year's World Test Championship final if they win at least one Test against Pakistan – but their bowling resources have been seriously depleted. Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje, Nandre Burger, Gerald Coetzee and Lizaad Williams have all been sidelined. It will be a blow if Maharaj, South Africa's premier spin bowler, cannot play. "We head into this series with a clear focus, with a spot in the World Test Championship final being the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," South African coach Shukri Conrad said in a CSA statement. Test Squad for Pakistan series - Temba Bavuma (captain), David Bedingham, Corbin Bosch, Matthew Breetzke, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka, Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Senuran Muthusamy, Dane Paterson, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs and Kyle Verreynne (wk) Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.
