A lot of eyes will be on this year Chennai Super Kings (CSK) And how does their brand-new team full of talented youngsters perform in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL).
CSK have a squad full of potential, but some might say they lack experience in certain positions. This may have led to frequent cuts and changes in the early parts of the season. However, once the combination is decided, it can be really difficult for some players to make a place in the team and participate in the entire tournament.
However, the doors are never closed for any player, and they can easily miss out on playing for their franchise due to injury or impact during training and net sessions.
Here are 3 CSK players who could be ruled out for the entire IPL 2026:
3. Matthew Short (Batting all-rounder)
matthew short He was signed by CSK at his base price of Rs 1.50 crore in the recent mini auction. However, it seems that the 30-year-old was selected as a potential replacement or backup to other foreign players in the team, especially Dewald Brevis. Based on the South African's form and performances in yellow last season, it is a safe bet that the 22-year-old will be CSK's first-choice overseas batsman.
Short is an experienced 30-year-old batsman who is capable of bowling good offbreaks. However, the Australian is a top-order batsman, a position that will be occupied by players like CSK's latest signings Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ayush Mhatre and Sanju Samson. Therefore, Short may have to face sitting on the bench in Chennai.
