The BCCI, on Saturday, delayed the announcement of IPL 2020 schedule after multiple CSK members tested positive. It was reported that 13 members of the CSK have tested COVID-19 positive and one of them is their premier pacer Deepak Chahar.

The BCCI released a statement saying 13 personnel have contracted the virus and are under isolation at the moment. However, the board refrained from taking any names. The release also mentioned that two players are also COVID-19 positive and these two names are reportedly Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad.

As per the norms, members who’ve tested positive for novel coronavirus will have to undergo rounds of testing in the next few days, delaying CSK’s plans of kick-starting their IPL 2020 preparations. The members will only be allowed to join their teammates after testing negative for COVID-19 twice.

The news of CSK members testing COVID-19 positive started doing rounds on the internet in no time. Fans, as well as prominent cricket names, wished them a speedy recovery as the feasibility of IPL 2020 is also dependent on their health status.

Considering the current COVID-19 situation in the CSK camp, the CSK players will now only be allowed to hit the field from September 1, given their players and officials test negative for coronavirus. To make things worse, CSK vice-captain Suresh Raina also pulled out of the tournament owing to personal reasons. According to reports, the left-hander was worried after seeing the current situation in the CSK camp.

While CSK will kick off the preparations for IPL 2020 next week, as many as six teams have flagged off their tournament preparations. The cash-rich league is slated to start from September 19th, with the final being locked on November 10th.
