At least ten members of the Chennai Super Kings contingent, including an India player, have tested positive for Covid-19 in Dubai. ESPNcricinfo understands that the positive results came after the Super Kings squad and support staff were tested on Thursday at their team hotel.

As per the IPL's Covid-19 protocols, all teams had to undergo a test at the airport upon landing in the UAE followed by three tests on days 1, 3 and 5 during the mandatory six-day quarantine at the team hotel. The positive results of the Super Kings contingent were from the third round of tests, which were conducted on the fifth day.

The Super Kings have now extended their quarantine period in the team hotel and have postponed the start of their training sessions, which were supposed to start on Friday as the squad had landed in Dubai on August 21.
