CSK may release Prashant Veer before the IPL 2027 auction
Chennai Super Kings may release Prashant Veer before the IPL 2027 mini-auction.
The 20-year-old Uttar Pradesh all-rounder joined CSK for Rs 14.2 crore, one of the team's two high-priced buys alongside wicketkeeper-batter Kartik Sharma.
Veer scored 90 runs in six matches and took no wickets, while Sharma made 295 runs and two half-centuries in 11 matches.
CSK has not decided which players to retain or release, and Kartik is considered less likely to go.
Releasing Veer could give the five-time champions more money to spend at the auction, and they may try to buy him back for less.
Teams must announce their retentions by November 15, ahead of the mini-auction expected on December 16 in Goa.
CSK has missed the playoffs for three straight seasons and is looking to strengthen its squad.
