The 22-year-old left-armer has been impressive so far in his short career. Little has played 19 ODIs and 34 T20Is for Ireland, picking up 61 wickets across both formats.
Chennai have already started their training camp in Surat, with the likes of skipper MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, and a few other players preparing themselves for the upcoming edition of the franchise-based league.
The defending champions have received a huge blow prior to the competition with Deepak Chahar set to miss majority of the tournament due to a quadricep tear. The fast-bowling allrounder, who was bought for a whopping sum of INR 14 crore, is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
It will be Chennai and last year's finalists Kolkata Knight Riders who will kick off the tournament on March 26 at the Wankhede Stadium.
