Overview
- GT head coach Ashish Nehra has refused to entertain offers for Washington Sundar, ruling out a pre-retention move to CSK, according to Cricbuzz-linked reports.
- CSK explored Sundar as a replacement for Ravichandran Ashwin after his IPL exit, but GT value the INR 3.20 crore all-rounder and plan to keep him.
- Sundar’s unbeaten 49 for India in Hobart increased interest, yet GT’s no-trade position was conveyed before that performance.
- Reports say a KL Rahul move from Delhi Capitals to KKR lacks traction, with Kolkata reluctant to include key pieces such as Rinku Singh or Varun Chakravarthy in any swap.
- With retained-squad lists expected by November 15, negotiations are compressed and potential buyers are short of acceptable exchange assets.
