Mumbai: The BCCI Sourav Ganguly has finally reacted to the news of multiple Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team members including two cricketers testing positive for COVID-19. “I cannot comment on the situation of CSK. We will see if they can start as per schedule. I hope the IPL will be conducted well. We have a long schedule for the tournament and I sincerely hope everything will go on just fine,” Ganguly was quoted saying to TOI.
“The entire world is coping with the crisis. Football and cricket matches are being conducted to empty stadiums globally. We will also have to accept that reality. I have started working and do our work. I am not a full-fledged sportsperson anymore – I am half-and-half. I am balancing between family, cricket, BCCI and media work,” he said.
CSK’s worries don’t end there. Recently their highest-run scorer Suresh Raina decided to fly back home for personal reasons and give this year’s IPL a miss citing personal reasons.
Meanwhile, CSK spinner Harbhajan Singh is expected to join the team in the UAE on Tuesday for the upcoming IPL.
