CSK name pacer Gleeson as replacement for injured Conway
In the absence of Conway, the CSK camp is left with Aravelly Avanish, the India Under-19 wicketkeeper, as the only back-up to veteran stumper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
In the wake of the novel Coronavirus, IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have appealed to the people to remain in their homes for a week.
“Stay in your Den this weekend. Take care of yourself & the old folks. Let’s make life hard for the virus. And let’s whistle to express our gratitude to the relentless fighters of the virus. PS. Try doing without using the hands. Tomo 5 PM. #WhistlePoduAt5 #JantaCurfew #COVID2019,” the franchise said in a tweet on Saturday.

CSK’s request comes to the fore after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Thursday announced ‘Janta Curfew’ in the entire nation on March 22, from 7 am to 9 pm — a step to avoid public gatherings and to prevent the spread of the deadly virus.
He also urged the countrymen to call at least 10 people every day and tell them about the ‘Janata Curfew’ as well as the measures to prevent the coronavirus.
As of now, India has reported around 296 positive cases of coronavirus with 4 deaths.
Meanwhile, PM Modi urged those who are above 60 years of age not to venture out of their homes for the next few weeks. He also ensured that there is no need to hoard foods and other items, as the government is taking steps to ensure no shortage of these items.
