Chennai | Chennai Super Kings has selected Karnataka all-rounder Macneil Noronha as a replacement for injured all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh, an IPL media release stated on Wednesday.

"Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have picked a player replacement for Ramakrishna Ghosh, who injured his right foot during their game against Mumbai Indians on May 3rd. He has been ruled out for the season. Macneil Noronha will join CSK for Rs 30 lakh as a replacement for Ghosh," the release stated.

An all-rounder from Karnataka, Noronha was recently awarded the MA Chidambaram Trophy at the BCCI Naman Awards for being the highest run-getter in the 2024-25 Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy (U-23).

Following a stellar season, Noronha received a call-up from the Karnataka team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, wherein he featured in three games for his state.
