Mumbai Indians have signed up West Indies fast bowler Jerome Taylor to replace injured Sri Lankan paceman Lasith Malinga, who also missed the World Twenty20 with a recurring knee injury.

England fast bowler Chris Jordan has joined Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore as a replacement for injured Australia paceman Mitchell Starc, the Indian cricket board said.

Starc has been ruled out of the Twenty20 league with a foot problem, opening the door for Jordan, who impressed with his death bowling in the recent World Twenty20 in India, where an Eoin Morgan-led England lost to West Indies in the final.

The 27-year-old Sussex bowler joins Morgan and national team mates Jos Buttler and Sam Billings in the eight-team event, in a sign of the England board's softening stance towards a league which attracts the biggest names in international cricket.

At Bangalore, Jordan will be part of a dressing room also including Indian batting mainstay Virat Kohli, talismanic South African AB de Villiers and swashbuckling West Indies opener Chris Gayle.
