Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a big blow ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, with Nathan Ellis set to be ruled out of the competition.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old Australian fast bowler has suffered a hamstring injury and won\u2019t recover in time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a big blow for us. Ellis is a crucial bowler, especially in the death overs. We are looking at replacements,\u201d said CSK CEO K.S. Viswanthan to Sportstar<\/i> on Thursday during an event to announce Kauvery Hospitals<\/i> as an official partner of the team.<\/p>\n

The loss of Ellis could force a major rethink of plans for the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led outfit.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, the team had relied on Matheesha Pathirana as the death-overs specialist, but released the Sri Lankan pacer after a disappointing campaign last year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Viswanathan also said that the foreign recruits will join the camp in the next few days. He said the recent West Asia crisis, which has affected major airline hubs in the UAE and Qatar, hasn\u2019t significantly affected the travel plans of their overseas recruits.<\/p>\n

Noor Ahmad has already arrived, while Jamie Overton is expected to reach Chennai tonight.<\/p>\n

The likes of Dewald Brevis, Matt Henry, Zack Foulkes and Matthew Short will join by March 22, while Akeal Hosein will join on the 25th.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson, the star of India\u2019s victorious T20 World Cup campaign, arrived in the city on Thursday to join the pre-season camp.<\/p>\n

The five-time champion made one of the biggest trade deals in the IPL last year when it traded in Samson from the Rajasthan Royals for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran.<\/p>\n

The Super Kings, including their star player M.S. Dhoni, have been training in the city since March 1, initially at its High Performance Centre and currently at the MAC Stadium. They could also have an intra-squad game on March 23.<\/p>\n
