OPLS, AMBER, and the beta versions of the CHARMM27 force fields include 
parameters for Cs+, but none of the others do.  Either use one of those force 
fields, find parameters already established in the literature, or resign 
yourself to the fact that you are in for a very large amount of difficult work 
to parameterize it yourself:
