CSK will begin their training camp on February 20, As per Cricblogger. Unlike last season, when the domestic season continued until a week before IPL 2024, this time, domestic matches will conclude by March 2. Currently, only eight teams remain in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals, which will be reduced to four by February 12 and two by February 21.
Key players like MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ravichandran Ashwin will be present from day one of CSK’s camp. Since Dhoni and Ashwin have retired from international cricket and Maharashtra has been eliminated from the Ranji Trophy, Gaikwad will also be available.
