Veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has picked up a new role with the Chennai Super Kings, a franchise he played for in the Indian Premier League from 2008 to 2015.
Ashwin though is still associated with the royals, he took up the job after being approached by the India cements group.
The center is expected to be fully operational by the start of the IPL 2025 season, with Ashwin playing a key role in its development, especially concerning CSK's academies.
