IPL 2019: We look at workload as our team is a little older than others, says Fleming

Fleming said that because the average age of most of the players in CSK is "a little" more than others, keeping a tab on players' workload is always a priority in Chennai Super Kings

Former New Zealand captain and Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming has cleared all doubts about whether the team management was looking at the workload of skipper MS Dhoni, who has been forced to take rest mid-tournament due to back spasm. Fleming said that because the average age of most of the players in CSK is "a little" more than others, keeping a tab on players' workload is always a priority in Chennai Super Kings. "To be honest, the positive out of MS being sick last week is that he was able to take some rest. That's one of the challenges when you always want one of your best players to play," he said, adding the skipper came back pretty good after the rest. "His back felt great, (though) he was just a little bit weak from the flu that he had," said Fleming. The former New Zealand captain said that his team does not wish to complicate things going into the playoffs of the Indian Premier League. "If results (of Delhi Capitals-Rajasthan Royals game) go our way today, then we can have a look at some options," Fleming said when asked if one can expect some changes in the team combination against Kings XI Punjab here on Sunday. At the same time, Fleming added, "But right now we are firmly fixed on winning tomorrow's game and playing well. You don't want to overcomplicate things, we have been in this position a number of times. We are very focussed on how we can win tomorrow." Fleming said he was not worried about the form of Kedar Jadhav, who has been named in the 15-man Indian World Cup squad. "I am not worried about him, he is very relaxed, he does have one eye on the World Cup as all the Indian players do in our side, but for now he is, form wise, firmly fixed on contributing to how many games we have got left. "No worries for me, he has been doing all the right things, just looking for another opportunity," he said about Jadhav.
