Shane Watson Ensured CSK Will Do Best Possible For IPL 2020

Shane Watson, who opens for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) besides playing as an all-rounder has assured that his team CSK will ensure that IPL goes ahead as per schedule by doing their best possible despite the troubles being aggravated at their camp ahead of the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) with multiple people being tested positive for COVID-19 in the UAE.

Leading run-scorer of CSK left-handed batsman Suresh Raina also left the camp to go back to India citing personal reasons. At least, two CSK players possibly Deepak Chahar and Rituraj Gaekwad are among the list of people tested positive as CSK are expected to remain under quarantine and will be separated from the remaining staff for the next few days before resuming training by entering the bio-secure bubble.

Shane Watson Said CSK Will Ensure That IPL Goes Ahead As Scheduled

CSK batsman Shane Watson in a video uploaded on his official Instagram page said that he and the rest of the staff will do whatever they can do in their scope to ensure that IPL goes ahead.

“It’s been an interesting time to be in lockdown again for another seven days, but this is the ever-changing world that we live in,” Watson said.

“We all have to do what we possibly can to stay safe, to limit the spread of Covid-19 throughout the IPL tournament because it is the best T20 tournament in the world. All players, all fans, want it to go ahead,” he added.

“I’ll do whatever we have to do to make sure that IPL goes ahead,” Watson further said.

Shane Watson has represented Chennai Super Kings franchise since 2018 and even scored a hundred in 2018 final which CSK won. Suresh Raina, on the other hand, will be missed as he is the highest run-scorer for CSK. Suresh Raina was the first batsman to score 5000 runs in the IPL and played 158 consecutive matches for CSK.

Shane Watson Said CSK Have Finally Realized Importance Of Protocols

He further added that the players and staff at CSK have finally realized the importance of following the protocols being laid down by BCCI and IPL authorities as they are keeping their fingers crossed that nothing more happens and IPL goes ahead without further troubles.

“It is a situation that has made everyone realise how integral and important it is for everyone to BCCI’s and IPL Governing Council’s bio-security protocols because something like this can create a hiccup to start things off,” he said.

“Fingers crossed nothing like this happens for the rest of the tournament and the tournament goes as seamlessly as possible. And it’s another exciting season of IPL and cricket,” Watson added.

The 13th edition of IPL kicks off from September 19th in the UAE after it was postponed due to COVID-19 from March 29 and was moved abroad due to rising covid cases in India.
