Chennai Super Kings have released Australian fast bowler Nathan Ellis as part of a trade deal with Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League season, according to reports from The Cricket News.
The move has drawn criticism from CSK supporters, who have expressed frustration over the franchise's decision to part ways with the right-arm pacer. Ellis, who has featured in previous IPL seasons, was acquired by Chennai in a prior auction cycle.
Details of the trade arrangement between the two franchises have not been fully disclosed. The transaction comes as teams finalize their squads for the upcoming IPL 2027 campaign, with the player retention and trade window currently active.
