Australian cricket legend Mike Hussey has thanked the Chennai Super Kings for taking care of him during his battle with the virus<\/a> and needs one more negative test to be free of quarantine.<\/p>\n

Hussey tested negative to Covid-19 the day after being flown by air ambulance from Delhi and Chennai for increased care.<\/p>\n

The Chennai Super Kings batting coach is still suffering flu-like symptoms but another negative test in the coming days will see Hussey leave isolation ahead of the mandatory 10 days.<\/p>\n

"I'm resting well and I'm feeling stronger," Hussey said in a statement late on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

"I'm hugely appreciative of what CSK have already done and are doing for me.<\/p>\n

"It's horrific what's taking place in India at the moment with the pandemic and I've been blessed with the great support I have received.<\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/p>\n

"I'm grateful for all the messages of support from cricket fans in India and Australia."<\/p>\n

Another negative test and Hussey will be able to join the Australian contingent of players, commentators and support staff in the Maldives.<\/p>\n

Hussey sat next to another coach on the team bus who subsequently tested positive, becoming the only Australian during the IPL to catch the virus. All-rounder Daniel Sams caught the virus on the way to India and was forced to isolate for two weeks on arrival.<\/p>\n

Federal Cabinet agreed Friday that national cricketers will follow the country's Olympians with vaccinations.<\/p>\n

A vaccination program specifically for Australia's Olympic athletes begins on Monday ahead of the July Olympics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Australia's next tour is scheduled for the West Indies from late June, with vaccinated travellers required to do little or no quarantine.<\/p>\n
