"There's nothing official I heard. I also read the reports. Until, I heard something official from BCCI, there's nothing we cannot comment," KKR CEO Venky Mysore told reporters.
"If there's any truth, a statement should come out soon. I also read a couple of days ago that there's some 'workload management'... But we are not aware of any such (BCCI) directive, it may be a figment of somebody's imagination," Mysore said.
According to reports, the series had taken a toll on some of the key Indian players who would miss a few matches of the IPL.
"The good news with our team is all our bases are covered, in case of any eventuality. He's a top player (Yadav), let's wait and see what comes out officially. Then we can comment something concrete without being speculative."
All KKR's overseas recruitment including the likes of Trent Boult, Chris Woakes, Nathan Coulter-Nile, coach Jacques Kallis were in transit and would join the team in 72 hours, he added.
Bangladeshi allrounder Shakib Al Hasan, who's playing in Sri Lanka would join before their tournament opener against Gujarat Lions in Rajkot on April 7.
"He is playing his last match on April 6 and would just be in time for the match," he said.
Talking to reporters after a practice match at Eden Gardens, he had special praise for the ground conditions.
"Eden wicket looks brilliant. Outfield is world class. It should be a contender of the best ground of the tournament. It will be entertaining."
