New Delhi. Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simon on Wednesday said there is no immediate replacement for Ayush Matre, and MS Dhoni’s availability will depend on medical clearance and his own fitness. CSK suffered a major blow when the in-form Matre was forced out of the IPL due to a hamstring injury, and Simon said that for now the team wanted to use the available players.

Johnson joins the team
Simon confirmed that Spencer Johnson has joined the team, but did not say when the Australian pacer will play. Indian bowler Anshul Kamboj, who has taken 13 wickets this season, has been the ‘leader of the attack’ for CSK, but he will not be asked to replace Khaleel Ahmed. Simon said, ‘It is important that you make him do only the work in which he has been successful, do not give him someone else’s role. He said, ‘We explain the strategy for four overs to the players, not only in the nets but also in conversations.
The team trusts Rituraj
Eric Simon expressed confidence in CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, citing the example of Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Verma, who has scored only 82 runs in six matches. Simon said, ‘We don’t doubt Rutu at all and he doesn’t doubt himself either. It’s just a matter of a moment when he will be in form. He said that letting the players play as they want is the coaching philosophy of CSK. Simon said, ‘Every player has to find his way to success here. The danger comes when they try to change. Jamie Overton has found himself again and it has been good for him.
