Mumbai Indians have signed West Indies pacer Jerome Taylor as a replacement for the injured Lasith Malinga for the remainder of IPL 2016. Taylor trained with Mumbai on Wednesday, and will be available for selection for their game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday.
A knee injury has kept Malinga out of action since February this year; he last played competitive cricket in the Asia Cup and missed out on the subsequent World T20. His participation in the IPL was always doubtful, but Mumbai had decided to wait until their first five matches were completed to give him time to recover before looking for a replacement. The highest wicket-taker across IPL seasons, Malinga was eventually ruled out of the 2016 tournament on April 17.

Nice opportunity for Jerome, I hope that he will fill the large void in the team left by the lost of Malinga.

Roach would've been a better choice.

Yes I hope he makes it count, great opportunity for him, plus he needs the practice since he has been out of action for a little while, considering that he didn't play during T20.
