Former India player and veteran off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh has withdrawn his name for the Chennai Super Kings' squad and pulled out from the Indian Premier League 2020 stating the personal reasons. Harbhajan Singh has conveyed his decision to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday (September 4).

The 40-year old has become the second CSK player after Suresh Raina to decide to the tournament, citing personal reasons. However, Suresh Raina in a recent interview had hinted that he might return to play the IPL 2020 for CSK. He had returned home after traveling with the team to the UAE.



Harbhajan Singh had remained in India. The development comes on the back of some positive news for the Chennai franchise. On Thursday night, all CSK players, barring the two earlier positive cases, had tested negative for coronavirus in a follow-up test that was conducted. The two infected players will undergo a COVID-19 test after completing a 14-day quarantine period.

Last week, as many as 13 CSK members had tested positive for the coronavirus which forced the team to extend their quartine time for one more week till 31st August. Out of 13, Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad were the two players who tested positive for the virus.

All other teams have started training for the 13th edition of the IPL except CSK. The three-time IPL champions had arrived in the UAE along with defending champions Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore on August 21.
