David Wiley, the new signee of Chennai Super Kings, is not available for selection for the next tie against Kings XI Punjab.
As per a report in ESPNcricinfo, he is yet to arrive in India as his visa process is not yet completed.
Willey was called up by CSK as a replacement for Kedar Jadhav after the start of the tournament.
He was all set to play county cricket for Yorkshire but he opted to play for CSK.
However, CSK will have one option short going into next game.
Already, they will be without the services of Suresh Raina for next two games.
He is suffering from calf injury, which will keep him out for 10 days.
This will be the first time when he will miss a game for CSK.
In fact, it will only be the second time in the history when Raina will miss an IPL game, having missed a game for Gujarat Lions in 2016.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings’ home base has been shifted to Pune from Chennai.
During the first home game of CSK, shoe were hurled inside the ground and protest also took place outside the stadium.
Keeping the security of players and condition of the state, IPL council decided to shift the venue.
A total of four venues were kept on standby to be home base for Chennai Super Kings.
But in the end, it was Pune which was handed the hosting rights of CSK.
It is to be noted that MS Dhoni, captain of CSK, played for two years at this stadium when Rising Pune Supergiant were part of IPL.
He surely played a major role in franchise opting for Pune as home base.
Chennai Super Kings face Kings XI Punjab in their next tie on April 15.
