COVID-19 is back to haunt the Indian Premier League (IPL) once again. The ongoing 15th edition of the league has already seen a few hiccups due to the virus but none of the matches has been affected so far despite cases being detected inside the bio-bubbles.

Delhi Capitals (DC) contingent has once again been forced into isolation after a positive case was detected in the latest round of testing on Sunday (May 08). DC are the only team that has been affected by COVID-19 so far this season as earlier several members of their contingent had tested positive for the virus.

As per a report in Cricbuzz, Delhi Capitals' sources revealed that a net bowler with the team has tested positive for COVID-19. As a precautionary measure, the entire DC squad has been asked to stay in isolation. The case was detected after a fresh round of testing on Sunday morning.

The development comes just hours ahead of DC's clash against MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. It remains to be seen if the match will go ahead as per schedule or if it will have to be rescheduled due to the positive case in the DC contingent.

Physio Patrick Farhat had also returned positive along with three other staff members. Marsh and Seifert had recently returned to the camp after recovering fully from the virus.

While the detection of another positive COVID-19 case is a huge concern for BCCI, it also raises questions on the integrity of the bio-bubbles that the teams are staying in during the ongoing tournament.

IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals squad in isolation after another COVID-19 case detected in their camp - Report

Delhi Capitals (DC) have received a huge boost ahead of their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Both Mitchell Marsh and Tim Seifert have rejoined the DC camp after recovering from COVID-19. The two players were forced into isolation after testing positive for the virus last week.

While Marsh had to be admitted to a hospital after testing positive for the virus, Seifert tested positive after the Australian all-rounder. The duo has now recovered and also completed their mandatory quarantine period to train with the rest of the squad once again.

Marsh and Seifert were spotted training with the DC squad ahead of their clash against KKR on Wednesday. "We are feeling Good. Great to have you back at the training, boys," DC wrote in a social media post while welcoming the duo.

Huge boost for Delhi Capitals as Mitchell Marsh, Tim Seifert rejoin camp after recovering from COVID-19

Delhi Capitals (DC)'s clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday (April 20) is now in doubt after another DC player reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 hours before the start of the game. The number of cases in the DC camp has now reached six as COVID-19 has once again come back to pose a threat to the ongoing 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Delhi Capitals' all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was the first player in the squad to test positive for the virus. The franchise also confirmed four members of the support staff had also tested positive. While the others had returned negative results in the latest round of tests conducted on Tuesday, another overseas player tested positive on Wednesday.

As per a report in Cricbuzz, the overseas player tested positive after a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) on Wednesday. The players are being tested again as the game between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings now hangs in balance. Earlier, the game was shifted from the MCA Stadium in Pune to Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai after five cases were detected in DC's camp.

Punjab Kings have already left for the Brabourne Stadium while it is not known if the Delhi Capitals squad will be allowed to travel after the positive case. As per BCCI's guidelines, a team can play even with a minimal squad but the game is most likely to be rescheduled to a later date given the risk involved.

IPL 2021 was suspended midway last year following the emergence of a string of COVID-19 cases across the camps of several IPL teams. This year, the BCCI is conducting the entire league stage of the tournament only in Maharashtra with an aim to avoid a repetition of last year's scenario but the emergence of a number of COVID-19 cases has once again put the tournament at risk.

It remains to be seen how BCCI will react after the latest COVID-19 case in the DC squad and if their game against Punjab Kings will go ahead as per schedule.

IPL 2022: Another Delhi Capitals player tests positive for COVID-19 ahead of PBKS clash - Report

&nbsp;Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was hospitalised after testing positive for COVID-19 in a second RTPCR test along with two support staff, causing fear and panic among rest of the Delhi Capitals squad here on Monday.

"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," the IPL franchise said in a release issued late in the evening.

It is still not clear if Delhi Capitals' next game against Punjab Kings in Pune on Wednesday will be called off or not as the entire squad was put in room isolation for the day. The other two who have tested positive are team doctor Abhijit Salvi and the team masseur.

The RTPCR reports of all other players have returned negative. A few days back, team physio Patrick Farhart had tested positive for the virus, thus taking the total number of cases to four.

"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," the release further stated.

"All remaining members of the bubble are currently in isolation in their respective rooms, and will be tested regularly."

During the day, Marsh had undergone two RT-PCR tests with the first one coming negative and the subsequent testing returning positive. This was after Marsh complained of sore throat and mild fever.

"Mitchell Marsh's RTPCR first report has come negative. However, the second RT-PCR report turned out to be positive. All other playing members have negative in RT-PCR tests. There is no threat to Wednesday's match between DC and PBKS," a senior BCCI official told PTI on Monday.

It is understood that the Australian all-rounder showed some symptoms and a Rapid Antigen Test was performed which came positive. It could have been due to the fact that he was undergoing rehab under Farhart and picked up mild symptoms which didn't turn out to be alarming. Salvi also seemed to have tested positive because of his proximity to Farhart and Marsh.

"DC were supposed to travel to Pune today but the entire squad members have been told to retire to their respective rooms and as per protocol RT PCR is being done to ascertain whether there is an outbreak in the camp or it is an isolated case like Patrick Farhart," a BCCI source had earlier said.

With all other players testing negative, the match is likely to go on as scheduled but the team will only travel after another round of RT-PCR test on Tuesday.

"All teams are staying at Conrad Hotel in Pune where BCCI has created a bio-bubble. They were supposed to travel but now it has been delayed. Obviously all those whose results would be negative would carry on with onward journey tomorrow," the source said.

As per the BCCI's testing protocols, every member of an IPL squad in a team bubble is tested every fifth day unlike last season when it was done every third day. However, if the franchise on its own wants the members to be tested, they are more than welcome.

The development comes after team physio Farhart tested positive last week. "We were supposed to leave today but have been told to stay in room until further notice," said a team source.

With COVID cases rising outside the IPL bio-bubble, the virus threat inside the controlled environment has also increased. Last season, the tournament had to be suspended midway due to the second wave. It was resumed and completed in the UAE in September-October.&nbsp;

IPL 2022: Mitchell Marsh to be hospitalised, 5 COVID-19 cases detected in Delhi Capitals camp - Report

Amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in several states across India, reports emerged of a virus scare in the Delhi Capitals (DC) camp on Monday (April 18). It seemed COVID-19 was back to haunt the Indian Premier League (IPL) once again with the ongoing 15th edition of the tournament under threat after a positive case was detected in the DC squad.

Reports went viral on Monday of a Delhi Capitals player returning positive after an antigen test. The positive case in the squad also led to the entire DC squad getting quarantined with their travel to Pune getting delayed by a day ahead of their clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday (April 20).

Fans soon started speculating and feared if the tournament can be suspended yet again this year due to COVID-19. IPL 2021 last year had to be suspended after four positive cases were detected among the squads in the bio-bubble. The tournament was later moved to the UAE and was completed outside India.

Soon after the reports of a COVID-19 scare in the Delhi Capitals' camp emerged, fans started speculating as 'Cancel IPL' started trending on Twitter. It also triggered hilarious reactions and memes from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) fans, who tweeted in favour of cancelling the season considering poor&nbsp;starts from both teams this season.

While MI are yet to win their first game so far in IPL 2022, CSK have&nbsp;managed only one win in six matches and are languishing in the bottom half of the table. Some also aimed a dig at the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans as their team is doing well but COVID-19 might spoil the party for Faf du Plessis &amp; Co. in their hunt for their maiden title.

After reports of an unnamed player testing positive for COVID-19 went viral on Monday, it was later revealed that Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was the one who returned a positive Rapid Antigen Test (RAT). However, in huge relief for the franchise and the BCCI, the Australian all-rounder tested negative in his mandatory RT-PCR test, as per a report in news agency PTI.

Earlier, Delhi Capitals' physio Patrick Farhat had tested positive for COVID-19 and is still in quarantine. However, barring him, all other members of the squad have tested negative for the virus in the RT-PCR tests conducted on Monday.

"Mitchell Marsh's RT-PCR report has come negative. RT-PCR report is supposed to be conclusive evidence and all other members have also tested negative in RT-PCR tests. There is no threat to Wednesday's match between DC and PBKS," a senior BCCI official was quoted as saying by PTI.

Amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in several states across India, reports emerged of a virus scare in the Delhi Capitals (DC) camp on Monday (April 18). It seemed COVID-19 was back to haunt the Indian Premier League (IPL) once again with the ongoing 15th edition of the tournament under threat after a positive case was detected in the DC squad.

Amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in several states across India, reports emerged of a virus scare in the Delhi Capitals (DC) camp on Monday (April 18). It seemed COVID-19 was back to haunt the Indian Premier League (IPL) once again with the ongoing 15th edition of the tournament under threat after a positive case was detected in the DC squad. Reports went viral on Monday of a Delhi Capitals player returning positive after an antigen test. The positive case in the squad also led to the entire DC squad getting quarantined with their travel to Pune getting delayed by a day ahead of their clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday (April 20). Fans soon started speculating and feared if the tournament can be suspended yet again this year due to COVID-19. IPL 2021 last year had to be suspended after four positive cases were detected among the squads in the bio-bubble. The tournament was later moved to the UAE and was completed outside India. Soon after the reports of a COVID-19 scare in the Delhi Capitals' camp emerged, fans started speculating as 'Cancel IPL' started trending on Twitter. It also triggered hilarious reactions and memes from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) fans, who tweeted in favour of cancelling the season considering poor starts from both teams this season.

Some also aimed a dig at the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans as their team is doing well but COVID-19 might spoil the party for Faf du Plessis & Co. in their hunt for their maiden title.
