“This is a real statement of intent from our playing teams. In Sam and Will we have signed two of the best English white-ball cricketers there are. They know what it means to step out in front of home fans at the Kia Oval and win trophies for their supporters,” Slipper said in a statement.
“Danni is a fan favourite in south London with her performances for Surrey and England and has already tasted success at the Kia Oval. I am also excited for supporters to be introduced to the new look and feel of our Hundred team. We have developed a brand that combines the history, heritage and prestige of the MI family but also brings the youthful vibrancy of the Oval Invincibles that made it one of the most recognisable sides in the competition,” it added.
Team owner Akash Ambani described MI London as the next step in expanding the Mumbai Indians identity globally, combining elite talent, local roots and a winning culture.
“MI London marks an exciting new chapter in taking the Mumbai Indians brand global and our journey in The Hundred. With world-class talent across the men’s and women’s teams – including Sam Curran, Will Jacks and Danni Wyatt-Hodge – and a strong connection to Surrey, MI London brings together elite cricket, local identity and MI’s winning culture. The ethos of excellence, consistency and success that defines the Mumbai Indians will continue to shape how we play and entertain fans in the UK and around the world,” he said.

MI London has also revealed their new team look, blending the energy of the Oval Invincibles with the global Mumbai Indians brand. The colour scheme combines the Invincibles’ mint green with the familiar blue and gold associated with Mumbai Indians teams worldwide.
The updated logo draws inspiration from the shape of the Kia Oval and includes subtle design elements linked to the Invincibles. The circular crest features repeated London detailing and twin sparks around the MI symbol.
