3 left-arm pacers CSK can target if Mustafizur Rahman is ruled out of IPL 2024

Mustafizur Rahman, in the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka, was taken off the field on a stretcher due to cramps. At the moment, it does not look great for him. Since Matheesha Pathirana is also injured, CSK must now act quickly if they have to find a replacement. The preference would be a left-arm pacer because that will give variety to MS Dhoni. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three left-arm pacers CSK can target if Mustafizur Rahman is ruled out of IPL 2024.

1) Kwena Maphaka

Kwena Maphaka is one of the left-arm pacers CSK can target if Mustafizur Rahman is ruled out of IPL 2024. The last time around CSK picked a U19 player, they managed to unearth a gem in the form of Matheesha Pathirana. They could now take a similar route.

The 17-year-old speedster from South Africa is a top-class cricketer. He has all the attributes to become the next big thing in world cricket. If CSK manages to invest in him now and if he turns out to become good, there will be no looking back for both the parties.

2) Wayne Parnell

Wayne Parnell did well for RCB in a few games last season. Considering his experience, CSK could be inclined to sign the veteran.

While he is good with the new ball, he can also operate in the back end of the innings. Also, his cutters could play a crucial role at Chepauk.

3) Daniel Sams

Daniel Sams could be a decent addition to the side for CSK. Just like MS Dhoni favours, he is a versatile cricketer and the batting depth would further improve for the team.

Yes, there could be questions about his suitability for the deathovers but we have seen Sams execute some variations in recent years. Hence, he could be a good choice.
