CSK has suffered a major blow ahead of IPL 2023

IPL 2023 may be over a month away but CSK have already suffered a major setback. The four-time champions have had a topsy-turvy ride in the last three seasons and the 2023 edition of the tournament is being seen as one in which they could hit the reboot button after several of their key stars hung up their boots.

Kyle likely to be ruled out of IPL –

New Zealand pacer all-rounder Kyle Jamieson may have been at the center of these plans but he is likely to be ruled out of the tournament this year. Jamieson will have to undergo back surgery following a recurrence of the injury. That will force him to stay away from competitive cricket for more than nine months.

This means he will not make a comeback during New Zealand’s ongoing two-Test series against England and is likely to be ruled out of IPL 2023.

Jamieson last played international cricket in June 2022 in a Test match against England at Nottingham. He last played for New Zealand XI in a warm-up match against England earlier this month.

CSK signed kyle for 1 crore –

“It’s a challenging and difficult time for Kyle and a big loss for us,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead was quoted as saying by SEN Radio. “He’s been fantastic all around our sides when he’s been a part of them. We just We wish him well and hopefully we’ll know more in three to four months what that looks like for him in the end.” Jamieson had earlier hoped that the injury would heal with rest but its recurrence forced him to opt for surgery.

Kyle was signed by CSK for ₹1 crore in this year’s mini-auction. The 2023 season of the IPL is set to begin on March 31, which means Jamieson is unlikely to be fit to play at least for much of, if not the entire tournament.
