Oram out of Chennai team:
The Chennai Super Kings have not named injured Jacob Oram in their squad for the Champions League Twenty20.
The hard-hitting Oram missed the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur last month due to a back injury and returned home for treatment, but he is yet to recover.
India bowler Joginder Sharma has also not been named by the Super Kings due to a heel injury.
"We have almost all our overseas stars available which means some of the Indian cricketers have missed out," the Super Kings' director of cricket operations VB Chandrasekar told the Hindu.
"Of course, we would have loved to have Oram, who can be influential."
The Super Kings will be coached by former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, who succeeds Kepler Wessels after the South Africans contract was not renewed.
The Chennai Super Kings are placed in Group A of the Champions League tournament along with Australia's Victoria Bushrangers, South Africa's Pretoria Titans and English champions Middlesex Crusaders.
They take on the Bushrangers in their first match in Mumbai on December 4.
Chennai Super Kings team: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey, Suresh Raina, Albie Morkel, Subramaniam Badrinath, Chamara Kapugedara, Arun Karthik, Parthiv Patel, R. Ashwin, Muttiah Muralitharan, Makhaya Ntini, Laxmipathy Balaji, Manpreet Gony, Sudip Tyagi.
Coach: Stephen Fleming.
