Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has signed New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee for this year's Indian Premier League (IPL), assistant coach Steve Rixon has said.
Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming coaches the team, and all-rounder Scott Styris is also on their playing roster.
"It's good to have (Southee) on board, especially coming out of such a great recent tournament at the World Cup. It's an absolute bonus for us at the moment to be able to get our hands on such a quality player," Stuff.co.nz quoted Rixon, as saying.
"Tim's recent form over there (at the World Cup) indicates that he handles those conditions beautifully," he added.
