Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president N Srinivasan's return to the sports administration in the role of Chennai Super Kings' chairman will be a 'great boon' for the franchise, said the team's CEO, Kasi Viswanathan.

"See, it's a great boon for CSK and he's been the best administrator for us and I'm very happy that he's come back into CSK. He'll be in an advisory role only because he doesn't travel much, but we'll be in contact with him," Viswanathan told PTI. A few weeks ago, the 80-year-old N Srinivasan was appointed as CSK's chairman in the franchise's board meeting.

"Both of us are in Chennai only. So he's in day-to-day contact with us," said Viswanathan, who added that Srinivasan would also oversee the management of the CSK's properties in SA20 and Major League Cricket. He will be in charge of everything (all CSK properties)," said Viswanathan.
