Right now, CSK’s available players have gathered in Surat and are having a camp at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium, which hosts a lot of games for the Indian women’s team.
Asked about the availability of last year’s highest run-getter Ruturaj and this year’s Rs 14 crore buy Chahar, Vishwanathan said: “We are not aware of their current fitness status and won’t be able to tell you when they would join the squad.

“Obviously, the BCCI has told us that once they are match-fit, they would intimate us. They are at the NCA currently.” All India players need to be at the NCA and get the clearance certificate after appearing in various fitness tests once the rehabilitation programme is complete.
Among those who are also tending to their injuries include Suryakumar Yadav, who has a fractured wrist.
