Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is one of the teams wwhich is known for smart selection of players. However, as every new season of the IPL comes, some player doesn't get a place in the playing XI. Therefore, before IPL 2025, there are a couple of overseas players who are likely to not get much game time. That may be due to tough competition, a change in the strategy by the team, or their recent form. Let's first see three overseas players who will not find too many games to feature in CSK next season.

Chennai Super Kings picked him in the IPL auction at 1.5 cr, but getting a chance in the playing eleven in the full season will be very tough for the allrounder. There are a lot of other allrounders like Sam Curran and Vijay Shankar in the lineup of CSK. He is most probably the backup for his teammate Sam Curran, who is more likely to play a full season because MS Dhoni has faith in him, and he also performs well.

Chennai Super Kings picked him for 2cr in the IPL 2025 mega auction as a backup in the squad. But he is a kind of bowler who can make his place in any T20 team because he has all the skill set to win the matches for his team, but for CSK he is more likely to heat the bench all season.

In case of any injury to Devon Conway or Sam Curran, he will have a fair chance to make it into the playing 11; otherwise, he is more likely to sit on the bench the whole season.

While these three may not get a chance into the playing XI, cricket is a game of surprise, and IPL always throws up a few unsuspecting opportunities. All that fans can do is sit back and wait to see how the management of CSK shapes up the team for yet another exciting season.
