Hussey and Balaji were among the prominent non-playing staff to test positive when the IPL was “indefinitely suspended” on Tuesday, following multiple Covid-19 cases inside the bio bubble.
“We decided to bring Hussey and Balaji to Chennai by an air ambulance as we have better contacts here and wanted to ensure better medical facilities in case of any need,” the official said. He further said the duo was “asymptomatic and doing fine.”
“Hussey has to wait and get a Covid-19 negative report before he can leave India,” the official added. The official also informed that CSK skipper MS Dhoni would leave for his hometown Ranchi in the afternoon once all his team members head for their respective bases.
