Chennai, April 11: Paattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) MLA R Venkatesan on Tuesday, sparked controversy by demanding that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should be "banned" from Indian Premiere League (IPL) because the team doesn't include any youth from the state of Tamil Nadu.

He made the remarks while speaking at the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Tuesday. Venkatesan said that although CSK is from Tamil Nadu, the Tamil youth are not given importance and local players are not there in this team. Dog Enters Chepauk Stadium, Delays Start of Play in CSK vs LSG IPL 2023.

Speaking at the Assembly, Venkatesan said, "There are no cricketers from Tamil Nadu in the CSK IPL team even though there are many talented players in the state. Without having a single Tamil player CSK is generating a profit by projecting CSK as the Tamil Nadu team. The Tamil Nadu Government should ban CSK for not including Tamil players in the team".
