Chennai Super Kings batting coach Mike Hussey tests negative for Covid-19 but remains in Quarantine
Chennai Super Kings batting coach Mike Hussey has tested negative for COVID-19 but remains in quarantine in a Chennai hotel, team CEO Kasi Viswanathan told PTI on Friday. Australian media outlets reported that Hussey can join fellow countrymen in the Maldives if he returns another negative test.
“He tested negative before getting on an air ambulance from Delhi to Chennai (on Thursday). He is doing fine. All other overseas personnel has left, head coach Stephen Fleming will be flying out tomorrow,” said Viswanathan.
Hussey and CSK bowling coach, L. Balaji were among prominent non-playing staff to have tested positive at the time of IPL’s indefinite suspension on Tuesday, following multiple Covid-19 cases inside the bio-bubble. They both flew together to Chennai. The Australian contingent comprising players, coaches, and commentators flew to the Maldives on Thursday to serve out the waiting period before they can board a flight back home.
Australia has banned flights from India until May 15 due to a massive surge in COVID-19 cases in the country. Hussey said he is grateful to his IPL franchise for taking good care of him.
“I'm resting well and I'm feeling stronger. I'm hugely appreciative of what CSK have already done and are doing for me,” he was quoted as saying by 'Sydney Morning Herald.
