Conway has been part of CSK's camp for the last two seasons. In 23 matches, Conway has scored 924 runs, including 9 half-centuries and a highest score of 92 not out.

The inclusion of Gleeson in the CSK squad will allow Ruturaj Gaikwad to pick an overseas pacer in case Mathisha Pathirana has some niggle.

After six matches, Chennai are placed at the third spot on the IPL 2024 points table. Chennai's next match is against Lucknow Super Giants on April 19 at the Ekana Stadium.
