IPL 2020: CSK player Deepak Chahar tests Covid positive, BCCI puts tournament schedule on hold

Chennai Super Kings player Deepak Chahar, who has tested positive for Covid-19, can return to training only after a 14-day quarantine period, following which he will have to test negative twice, 24 hours apart, before being permitted to re-enter the bio-secure zone. The Indian cricket board insisted there was no immediate threat to the I.P.L., which is scheduled to start from September 19. CSK were the only team that underwent a camp in India prior to departure for Dubai. It is understood that the BCCI had expressed its concerns about the camp, with some officials even getting in touch with the C.S.K. management and asking them to cancel it. However, these concerns were not heeded. The C.S.K. management was of the view that the team should get a good hit in the park before leaving for the UAE since their initial plan of reaching Dubai by August 12 had already been denied. The positive tests, however, have left the C.S.K camp in disarray. The team has a host of over-30 players and most of them have been out of international cricket for a while now. It is understood that as of now, C.S.K. will not ask B.C.C.I. to postpone its matches, provided no one else tests positive in the subsequent tests. A TOI online report.
