Chennai Super Kings: Ben Stokes, Dwaine Pretorius, Ambati Rayudu and Kyle Jamieson are amongst the eight players to be released by Chennai Super Kings, with the IPL 2024 player retention deadline set to end at 5pm on Sunday.

Stokes, England’s Test captain, had opted out of IPL 2024 due to managing his workload and fitness. A series of injuries had limited his IPL 2023 participation to just two games, after being bought by the franchise for INR 16.25 crore.

Pretorius, the former South Africa all-rounder, didn’t get much game time in Chennai’s victorious IPL 2023 season. Rayudu had retired from IPL once Chennai beat Gujarat Titans, while Jamieson was unavailable for the 2023 season due to back injury.
