Chris Lynn will continue his association with Knight Riders family as he was picked up by Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) on the CPL draft day.

He did not enter the draft process and was straightaway transferred to the Trinbago Knight Riders.

This would mean that he will play for one more franchise associated with the Knight Riders.

He is a part of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL as well.

He suffered a shoulder injury during the final of tri-series last month while fielding against New Zealand.

This resulted in a shoulder injury and put his participation in doubt for IPL.

He has already been ruled out of PSL and is positive of being declared fit to participate in IPL.

Lynn’s chances of taking part in IPL received a boost after it was cleared that he would not need any surgery for the injured shoulder.

It will take some time to heel and scans will decide whether he will play IPL or not?

If ruled out, he will miss out on Rs 9.60 Crore – the amount which was paid to him by the franchise for acquiring his services for IPL.

If he lands in India but doesn’t play a full tournament, he will receive half the amount.

The team is expected to call him to India as it has big hopes on him.

Last year, the franchise waited for Lynn to get fit, even after he was injured during the third tie of the season.

It (franchise) decided not to release him, and it was only after a month when he played his next game for KKR.

He was one of the possible contenders for the captaincy post but might not be in the scheme of things now.

Still, he is a vital player for the team and KKR is expected to wait for him until he gets fit.

It is to be noted that the franchise provided Andre Russell with separate training staff to look after him during the period he was banned.

Franchise owners also retained him before the IPL auction.

The upcoming IPL season will start on April 7 while Carribean Premier league will kick off on August 8.

Trinbago Knight Riders will go in the tournament as defending champions by winning the previous edition of the T20 league.
