Out of the national side for the past three years, pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji has been included as an additional bowler in the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Chennai Super Kings team.

Announcing Balaji’s inclusion, V B Chandrasekar, a former selector and head of cricketing matters in the Chennai Super Kings, said, “We have pitchforked him in our team as an additional bowler. He has been in action after recovery from injury in the TNCA’s first division matches this season.”

“Balaji has been effective in two spells of 10 overs, though he has not been tried on the trot. He is surely going to be a lethal weapon in our scheme of things in the Twenty20 IPL matches,” he said.

He said the whole composition of the team has to be decided this evening and the squad list would be sent to BCCI’s IPL Committee first.
