Several members of Chennai Super Kings (CSG) have tested Covid-19 positive, including a player. The name of the player is not disclosed but it is known that he is an Indian medium pacer, who has also recently played for India.

News reports suggest a few net bowlers, some members of the digital/social media team and an India seamer, who plays in the shorter formats, have tested positive.

CSK were scheduled to start training from Friday, but it is learnt that following the latest development, the team will have an extended quarantine. Those who have tested positive will self-isolate for 14 days.

CSK went to Dubai for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), to be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 19 to November 10, last week and as per the tournament’s Covid protocol, the team members underwent a Test at the airport followed by another two rounds of tests during the mandatory six-day quarantine period. The team management so far hasn’t revealed the names of those who have tested positive.

The players will be allowed to enter the bio-secure bubble only after returning negative in tests to be conducted after the extended isolation.
