Du Plessis, Fleming return as CSK retain core for CSA T20 League

Du Plessis and Fleming will reunite in CSA T20 League

Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited (CSKCL) has signed the core group from the IPL for the inaugural edition of the CSA's newly planned T20 league.

 In what is coming as a joyous news for the Super Kings fans, the Johannesburg-based side has announced the star performer Faf du Plessis as their skipper after directly signing him for US$375,000 (₹ 2.98 Crore).

Another of CSK's big name, Moeen Ali, the current English all-rounder, has also been roped in for US$400,000 (₹ 3.17 Crore). However, considering his name was also included in the UAE's ILT20, the Southpaw decided to stay with his current IPL franchise after some calls and much insistence from the CSK management and MS Dhoni.

Along with above mentioned two prominent names, the Men in Yellow have acquired the services of Maheesh Theekshana, Romario Shepherd and Gerald Coetzee for $200K, $175K and $50K, respectively. While Theekshana was already associated with the franchise, Shepherd and uncapped African pacer Coetzee are the new additions.
