Should CDCE913 crystal be connected to ground?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCE913

Hi,

In CDCE913 datasheet I see there is no additional capacitor and connection to ground via capacitors from two ends of the crystal. The reason of this might be because of the internal adjustable capacitor and ground connection within CDCE913.

However, in a reference design I see there are connections to the ground directly via two ends of the crystal without intervening capacitor. This design is from a partner of TI. Is such ground connection wrong, and may I remove the ground connections?
