In a major development, Chennai Super Kings have signed Spencer Johnson as a replacement for the injured Nathan Ellis ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, who was ruled out of the tournament earlier this week. Johnson will join the CSK squad soon and is expected to be available for selection ahead of the side's first game, which will be played on March 30.
Yet another PSL signee joins IPL franchise
For the unversed, Johnson was supposed to play for Quetta Gladiators in the upcoming season of the Pakistan Super League, slated to begin on March 26. As a result, the Australian cricketer joins the list of many cricketers who have ditched their PSL contract and will be travelling to India instead in order to feature in the cash-rich tournament. Johnson has been signed by CSK for his base price of INR 1.5 crore.
