His replacement, Magala, has rich experience in the shortest format of the game. Though he has played just 4 T20Is for South Africa, Magala has a reputation of being a regular wicket-taker in domestic T20 games over the years. He will join CSK at his base price of INR 50 Lakh.
Magala is the second player to be brought in as a replacement player for an IPL franchise. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) got in New Zealand’s Michael Bracewell as a replacement for England batter Will Jacks.
IPL 2023 will start on March 31 with Gujarat Giants taking on Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The final will be played on May 28 in Ahmedabad.
