The Texas Super Kings are going to be a part of the MLC which starts from July 14 in the United States. The inaugural season will have six franchises, three of which have IPL-based owners.

Texas Super Kings (TSK), who are a sister franchise of current IPL Champions CSK, have snapped up four players from the current CSK roster for the inaugural MLC season.

Former India batter Ambati Rayudu, who retired from IPL recently, has joined the Texas Super Kings. The veteran hung up his boots from the IPL after CSK’s 5th title win against Gujarat Titans on May 29 at the Narendra Modi stadium.

Apart from Rayudu, TSK have also roped in three other CSK players, namely Dwayne Bravo, Devon Conway and Mitchell Santner.
