CHENNAI: The Chennai Hockey Association is keen to finish its league as soon as the situation improves, instead of calling it off. Hockey players were not given permission to practise when other disciplines were given a temporary go-ahead. “We are willing to wait until even November. After that, we’ll start the new season. All teams understand we are in an extraordinary situation,” said CHA president V Baskaran.
