\n\nThe 10 IPL franchises have until November 17 to unveil the list of retained and released players before the IPL 2027 mini-auction. A couple of franchises have already been involved in trades. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were recently involved in a four-player trade. CSK traded Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis to SRH. They brought in Jack Edwards and Liam Livingstone from SRH. Of course, CSK will also release few players on the retention deadline day. Before the cut-off date, Subramaniam Badrinath has requested the franchise not to release Matt Henry.
\n\nCSK signed Henry for Rs 2 crore in the IPL 2026 mini-auction. He scalped 2 wickets in three games in the season. "Even though Team India lost, I saw a positive. That is Matt Henry. Superb performance. 6-wicket haul. In my previous video as well, I said that he should be retained. I think this is the reason. He has good experience," Badrinath said on his YouTube channel.
\n\n"I think he is a good-quality bowler, especially because he can take wickets in the powerplay. So, I think CSK will retain Matt Henry, hopefully. I think so too.
