Suresh Raina advises MI on Rohit Sharma and player retention
A former cricket player named Suresh Raina gave advice to the Mumbai Indians cricket team.
He suggested they should keep star players like Rohit Sharma and Trent Boult.
Rohit has led the team to many wins, and Trent is a very good bowler.
However, Raina thinks they should let go of an English player named Will Jacks because his performance wasn't as good as expected.
Teams have to decide which players to keep before a special auction where they can pick new players.
This decision is important for how well the team will do in the next competition.
Suresh Raina advised Mumbai Indians to retain Rohit Sharma.
Raina also suggested keeping New Zealand pacer Trent Boult.
The former cricketer recommended releasing all-rounder Will Jacks.
The advice comes ahead of the IPL retention deadline on November 15.
Will Jacks' performance for MI saw a dip in his strike rate.
