R Ashwin Conveys Interest to Leave CSK After IPL 2025; to Give up Key Role at Academy Too: Reports

Ravichandran Ashwin has informed the Chennai Super Kings management of his intention to part ways with the team following the IPL 2025 season in India.
Ashwin, aged 38, joined CSK again in 2024 after several seasons with Rajasthan Royals and other teams, but recent poor performance and team restructuring influenced his choice.
He appeared in just nine matches during the 2025 season, claiming seven wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 9.42, and prior to requesting his release before the upcoming auction, there were discussions regarding his position within the team.
Ashwin was acquired by CSK for Rs 9.75 crore during the 2024 mega auction and has been overseeing operations at the CSK Academy since June 2024.
Ashwin’s departure may end his second CSK stint and could lead him to join other franchises, while it might also require stepping down from his academy role to avoid conflicts.
