“There is no cause for concern,” he added. 

Two
individuals at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru have also tested
positive for the coronavirus, ANI reported, adding that they have been kept in
isolation.

This comes
at the back of 13 members of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) testing positive for
the coronavirus on August 29.

It was
later confirmed that Indian seamer Deepak Chahar and Indian A batsman Ruturaj
Gaikwad were the two cricketers among the group who tested positive.

On
September 1, CSK CEO KS Viswanathan had confirmed that all 13 members who
tested positive earlier, had come out negative.

“Yes, all
13 members have tested negative for COVID-19. They will have to undergo another
test on Thursday. We are likely to start training on Friday,” Viswanathan told
PTI.

The Indian Premier League is set to commence from
September 19 in the UAE, with Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi hosting the matches in
bio-secure bubbles.
