Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday announced the signing of South African fast bowler Sisanda Magala to replace New Zealand bowler Kyle Jamieson in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
Jamieson, who was bought by CSK for Rs 1 crore, will miss the league starting March 31 due to injury. Magala has a lot of experience of playing in the shorter format of the game.
