The IPL 2020 opening game between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is only a couple of hours away. However, the tension about Josh Hazlewood and Sam Curran's accessibility is actually equivalent to it was 15 days back.
Them two arrived in Dubai from Manchester on Thursday. Will they be permitted to take an interest in the initial round of CSK or not ?
Not even in the playing XI – yet will they even be permitted to go through the Emirate of Abu Dhabi from Dubai today evening alongside the CSK group ?
These inquiries actually remain unanswered.
The report from the Chennai Super Kings camp is – Dwayne Bravo, Imran Tahir and Mitchell Santner had finished six days after their appearance in UAE in the wake of partaking in the CPL and are qualified for Saturday's down.
However, both Hazlewood and Curran who showed up on Thursday in Dubai will be passing up a great opportunity in the initial game.

In the event that the primary game would have been in Dubai, they could have played. However, as the main game is in Abu Dhabi, they will be passing up a major opportunity of the CSK Line up.
In the interim, Ruturaj Gaikwad had tried negative in one COVID-19 test however another remaining parts. At that point, there would be a cardiovascular appraisal. This implies even they will pass up a major opportunity from the playing eleven.
