The Delhi Capitals’ Australian player Mitchell Marsh has tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, and some others from the contingent are in isolation after being identified as close contacts. The Australian has been hospitalised.

The rest of the players have all returned negative test results. According to PTI, the team doctor Abhijit Salvi has also tested positive.

"Delhi Capitals all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has tested positive for COVID-19, following which he has been admitted to a hospital. The Delhi Capitals medical team is closely monitoring Marsh’s condition. A few more members from the Delhi Capitals bio-bubble, including support staff members, have returned positive tests as well. Though they are all asymptomatic, their condition is being monitored closely by the franchise," a statement from Delhi Capitals read.

"All remaining members of the bubble are currently in isolation in their respective rooms, and will be tested regularly."

This is the second instance of positive COVID cases in the Delhi franchise with physio Patrick Farhart testing positive on Friday. The board shared the information in a press release on Sunday and no further details were shared.

DC played their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday, a day after Farhart and a masseur tested positive for the virus. The Capitals players were advised to stay away from hugging or shaking hands with RCB players.

Delhi are scheduled to play next on Wednesday against Punjab Kings in Pune.
