Overview

• The five-day camp at CSK’s Navalur High Performance Centre hosts 40–50 trialists, with most slots given to batters.
• The sessions are timed early in the domestic season and have proceeded despite monsoon constraints to accelerate pre-auction scouting.
• CSK considers its bowling group largely settled and is evaluating uncapped Indian players and recent domestic T20 performers to strengthen batting.
• Reporting indicates a trade for Sanju Samson is unlikely at this stage, so the franchise is preparing for auction-led options instead.
• An unnamed Indian batter who has slipped down the pecking order remains on the radar, with his presence at the trials not confirmed.
