IPL 2020:”I Treat Suresh Raina Like Son,But Can’t Decide on comeback,”Says N Srinivasan

     The all-rounder’s return to the side this IPL season after an unanticipated pullout would be decided by the team management led by skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Raina had last week left the CSK camp in Dubai amid 13 COVID-19 cases, including national team seamer Deepak Chahar, but there was some controversy regarding an alleged breach of bio bubble, something the player has categorically denied.The former BCCI president was initially furious with Raina’s departure but softened his stance later.

“We own a team, we own the franchise but we do not own players. The team is ours but players are not. I don’t own the players,” he added.
For Srinivasan, the decision on Raina will lay with the team management, which means skipper Dhoni and CEO KS Viswanathan.
“I am not the cricket captain. I have never told them (team management) whom to play, whom to take in the auction, never. We have the greatest captain of all times. So, why shall I even interfere in cricketing matters?” Srinivasan said.
CSK have been three-time champions in the high-profile league, shifted to UAE this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
