Fast Bowlers
9. Andrew Tye (Overseas): Andrew Tye has played in 27 Indian T20 League matches. He is known for his variations and wicket-taking abilities in the death overs. He was included by Chennai as a death-over specialist but the presence of Dwayne Bravo, with his dynamism, probably did not let Tye appear in the yellows of Chennai.
10. Matt Henry: Matt Henry has been an important part of New Zealand’s Test team. He was once included in the Chennai squad when he was still an uncapped player. However, he didn’t get a chance to play for the franchise.
Spinner
11.Akila Dhananjaya: Akila Dhananjaya has the economy rate of 7.45 in T20 cricket. This is impressive given how fast the game moves. He also has 101 wickets in his T20 career from 91 matches. He can be a middle-over asset to any T20 team. But when he was a part of Chennai, spinners like Ravindra Jadeja, Imran Tahir, and Harbhajan Singh were in the squad. Thus, Dhananjaya failed to make an appearance for the team.
