CSK’s High-Performance centre is located in Navalur, on the outskirts of Chennai. The centre’s ground is ready and other infrastructure is being built. CSK even held a practice session at the venue during the IPL and the venue will also host TNCA first-division matches this year.
Following the move, there will be heightened expectations on whether the off-spinner could don the yellow jersey again. But with the IPL set to have a mega auction for 2025 with retentions and no trade window before that, it won’t be straightforward for CSK to get Ashwin back.
