Mitchell John McClenaghan (born 11 June 1986) is a New Zealand international cricketer who plays in limited over internationals. Domestically, he plays for the Auckland Aces in New Zealand, Middlesex in England and PSL team Lahore Qalandar and for Mumbai Indians in cash rich IPL. McClenaghan is a left-arm medium-fast bowler. He is the fastest bowler to take 50 wickets for New Zealand in One Day Internationals. In August 2017, he was named in Durban Qalandars' squad for the first season of the T20 Global League.[1] However, in October 2017, Cricket South Africa postponed the tournament until November 2018.[2]

Domestic career

In 2009, in a non-first-class match, McClenaghan took 5/36 against the England Lions for New Zealand Emerging Players.[3]

It was announced on 14 June 2013 that he would be joining Lancashire as an overseas player for their Friends Life t20 campaign.[4] He won the Man of the Match award in his first home match at Old Trafford against Nottinghamshire after taking 5 wickets for just 29 runs, although Lancashire still lost the game.[5]

On 19 May 2015, he joined Middlesex as an overseas player for their final six T20 Blast group matches.[6] McClenaghan replaced South Africa bowler Kyle Abbott at Lord's from the end of June. He made his debut against Sussex at Lord's on Thursday, 2 July, and took eight wickets in four appearances, including 3–24 from 4 overs on his debut. He was picked by the Lahore Qalandars for the third edition of the Pakistan Super League.

T20 franchise career

McClenaghan made his IPL debut in 2015, when he was bought by Mumbai Indians for 30 lakh. He went on to take 14 wickets at an average of 22.50 in 10 appearances in the tournament. He also played with the franchise in the 2016 and 2017 editions. After going unsold in the 2018 auction, McClenaghan was selected by the Mumbai Indians as a replacement for the injured Jason Behrendorff.

In September 2018, he was named in Nangarhar's squad in the first edition of the Afghanistan Premier League tournament.[7]
