After CSK bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji, the Australian left-handed batsman and CSK batting coach Michael Hussey too got affected with the dreaded virus, his reports came on Tuesday.
“Hussey was tested and his sample came positive. We sent it for retesting but that has also come positive,” said an IPL source.
Hussey has been the part of the team since 2018. On Monday, CSK bowling coach Balaji along with Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers Sandeep Warrier and Varun Chakravarthy had also returned with positive results.

Hussey and the other team members have been confined from the remaining squad. In the wake of a few players and support staff testing positive for COVID-19, the IPL was postponed indefinitely by the BCCI on Tuesday.
“The Indian Premier League Governing Council (IPL GC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an emergency meeting has unanimously decided to postpone IPL 2021 season, with immediate effect,” BCCI said in a press release.
