Offloading Harbhajan Singh ahead of the 2013 IPL season would have given a substantial purse to Mumbai Indians as the franchises head to the player auctions next week.
The IPL franchises were given a October 31, 2012 deadline to submit a list of players they wish to retain ahead of the IPL trading window and player auctions.
Harbhajan has played 77 matches for Mumbai from which he taken 66 wickets at an average of 26.89. His best was 5 for 18.
Kings XI Punjab's Stuart Broad and Pune Warriors' Jesse Ryder are some of the other players who have been released from their respective teams.
