CSK Owner Srinivasan after a call from Raina has reportedly accepted his apology. The CSK boss though refused to interfere in any decision making of the team management. Srinivasan said the ball was in the team management’s court.
“Look, please understand, that’s not my domain at all,” he was quoted as saying by a news agency. “We own a team, we own the franchise but we do not own players. I don’t own the players.”
“I am not the cricket captain… We have the greatest captain of all times. So, why shall I even interfere in cricketing matters?”
The good part for Raina is that CSK haven’t sought a replacement for Raina yet. InsideSport spoke to CSK’s CEO Kasi Viswanathan and he made it clear that their are no talks in the CSK camp to call for Suresh Raina’s replacement.
“We are not calling for any replacement for Raina. Team captain and team coach are both satisfied with what we have in our kitty currently”, told CSK CEO on Tuesday evening.
This means, Raina’s place in the CSK team is still protected. His comeback will all be dependent now on how team captain Dhoni reacts to the situation. As always, Dhoni will keep all his cards close to chest but be sure twist and turns in drama surrounding SURESH RAINA will continue.
