IPL 2020: Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni And Others Land In Chennai Ahead Of Pre-Season Camp

Chennai Super Kings stars Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni along with some other members of the team have landed in Chennai ahead of departing to the UAE for this year’s Indian Premier League. Suresh Raina confirmed the news on Instagram.

The thirteenth edition of the tournament is scheduled to be held entirely in the UAE due to the alarming coronavirus situation in the country. Earlier this month, the BCCI got the green light from the government to move the competition out of the country. IPL 2020 is scheduled to take place from September 19 to November 10.

The teams will start leaving for UAE from next week. Chennai Super Kings will leave for this year’s IPL venue on August 21. And before leaving for UAE, the three-time champions will hold a short pre-season camp in Chennai.

The camp is scheduled to be held between August 15 and 20. Bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji is likely to be the only member of the coaching staff present at the camp. The other members of the staff, including head coach Stephen Fleming and assistant coach Michael Hussey are likely to join the squad in Dubai on August 22.
