Delhi Capitals Players Forced Into Isolation After Net Bowler Tests Positive For Covid

Written by Abhishek Patil

Delhi Capitals players were once again forced into isolation in the ongoing IPL-15 after a net bowler of the franchise tested positive for COVID-19. “One net bowler tested positive today morning in test. Players have been asked to stay in rooms,” IPL sources said hours ahead of their Sunday’s match against Chennai Super Kings.

Delhi Capitals are scheduled to play against CSK in the day’s second match, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

A fresh round of testing took place on Sunday morning with all members of the contingent confined to their rooms.

It is the second time during the IPL 2022 that the Delhi team has been forced into isolation.

Earlier in the season, six members of the franchise including physio Patrick Farhart, all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, keeper-batter Tim Seifert and three other non-playing members had tested positive for the virus.
