CSK’s Jamie Overton returns to England for thigh injury treatment:Unlikely to feature in remaining games, Noronha named Ghosh’s replacement

Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Jamie Overton has returned to England due to a right thigh injury. The franchise shared this information on social platform X on Wednesday night. However, the team did not clarify how long he would be out, but it seems unlikely that he will play in the remaining league matches of the IPL season. CSK also informed that it has included Karnataka all-rounder McNeil Noronha in the team in place of injured all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh. Ghosh suffered an injury in his debut match against Mumbai Indians on May 3. Due to a fracture in his leg, he had to be ruled out for the entire season. Ghosh took 1 wicket for 24 runs in his only match. 3 Other CSK Players Also Out Due to Injury Apart from Overton and Ghosh, 3 other Chennai players have also been ruled out due to injury, including names like Khaleel Ahmed, Ayush Mhatre, and Nathan Ellis. Dhoni, Johnson did not play a single match The team’s biggest concern remains former captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni has not been able to play a single match this season due to a calf strain. Besides him, Australian fast bowler Spencer Johnson is also on the bench due to being unfit. Middle-order batsman Dewald Brevis also could not play the first three matches, due to which the team suffered initial losses. McNeil Noronha is a BCCI Award Winner McNeil Noronha has been in excellent form in domestic cricket recently. Recently, he was awarded the MA Chidambaram Trophy at the BCCI’s annual ‘Naman Awards’. He was the highest run-scorer in the 2024-25 Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy. Playing for Mangaluru Dragons in the Maharaja Trophy 2025, he scored 253 runs in 10 innings and also took 10 wickets with his off-spin.
