Chennai Super Kings contingent tests negative, start training from Sept 4

DUBAI: All members of the Chennai Super Kings contingent, except for the 13 who tested positive for COVID-19 early last week, have

come out negative in the latest tests, the Indian Premier League team's CEO K S Viswanathan said on Tuesday.

Viswanathan had earlier stated that even the 13, including India seamer Deepak Chahar and India 'A' batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, were among those who returned negative in tests conducted on Monday. He later revised his statement.

"All others, apart from the 13, have tested negative for COVID-19. They will have to undergo another test on Thursday, September 3. We are likely to start training on Friday, September 4," Viswanathan said from Dubai where the team is based right now.

"Deepak and Ruturaj will complete their 14-day quarantine and then join training after two negative tests as per protocol," he added.

The 13 infected contingent members will be tested at the end of their quarantine period. Agencies
