Meanwhile, CSK are also set to begin their pre-season camp on September 04 after the players and support staff tested negative for COVID-19 in two successive tests.
All players and support staff, apart from the 13 that had tested positive, passed the third round of tests and will start the pre-season camp. The other 13 members, which includes players Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad, will complete their two-week quarantine period and then undergo two COVID-19 tests before joining the team.
