Dubai/Chennai/IBNS: Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina will miss the entire 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), as the southpaw returned to India for personal reasons on Saturday.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the team which Raina represents in IPL, has said on Twitter that the franchise offers complete support to the cricketer.

CSK CEO KS Viswanathan said, "Suresh Raina has returned to India for personal reasons and will be unavailable for the remainder of the IPL season. Chennai Super Kings offers complete support to Suresh and his family during this time."

Raina returned home a day after at least 10 members including a player of CSK tested positive for Coronavirus in Dubai.

The positive results came out after the Super Kings squad and support staff were tested on Thursday.

As per the IPL's Covid-19 protocols, all teams had to undergo a test at the airport upon landing in the UAE followed by three tests on days 1, 3 and 5 during the mandatory six-day quarantine at the team hotel. The positive results of the Super Kings contingent were from the third test that was conducted on day 5, reported a news portal.

The team's quarantine period in the team hotel has been extended.
