West Indies cricket legend Kieron Pollard is set to depart MI London after accepting the head coach position with the Mumbai Indians franchise, according to a report from The Cricket News on November 5, 2026.

The move sees Pollard transition from a playing and leadership role with the MI London side in The Hundred competition to taking full coaching responsibilities for the five-time Indian Premier League champions. Pollard, who spent 13 seasons as a player for Mumbai Indians before retiring from the IPL in 2022, returns to the franchise in a new capacity.

MI London, the London-based franchise owned by the Mumbai Indians' parent company Reliance Industries, will need to find a replacement for Pollard ahead of the next season of The Hundred. The 37-year-old all-rounder captained MI London in the competition's inaugural seasons.
