News coming in from Chennai that “The Turbanator” Harbhajan Singh will not be travelling with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team who were set to leave to Dubai on Friday.

The reason behind the decision stands as the off-spinner has told the franchise that his mother is unwell and that’s why he won’t travel. It is expected that Harbhajan Singh will be joining the squad in two weeks.

The Grand stage of Cricket The Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to kick off in the UAE from September 19.

It is also reported that the 40-year- old off-spinner has also skipped the ongoing Five-day camp held by the franchise of Chennai Super Kings. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Shardul Thakur were also not part of the ongoing camp.

The fast bowler Thakur has joined the squad on Wednesday while Jadeja is set to arrive in the city on Thursday.

Captain Cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni looks quite satisfied with his side’s preparations which were held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium ahead of the IPL. The Brief CSK camp is expected to end on Thursday.

Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) had prepared and offered two pitches – clay and red-soil to the team of Dhoni. The Captain Cool who had recently retired from International cricket was quite happy with the wickets.

The clay wicket is a bit of greenish which is suited for the pacers whereas the red soil is considered as a typical Chepauk wicket that favours the spinners with a bit of turn. According to various reports, Dhoni was pleased with the set of wickets.

CSK Players Test Negative

On the other hand, the whole squad of CSK is ready to compete in the Indian Premier League as all the players have tested negative for the Covid-19. The tests were conducted on Tuesday and we’re reported as the second round of tests held before the team leaves for UAE on Friday.
