Australian cricketer Mitch Marsh was admitted to a hospital in India after a positive test for COVID-19, said his team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Delhi Capitals. Marsh, who played 32 trials for his country, was one of the few people in the team's "bio-bubble" who tested positive, but the others had no symptoms, Delhi Capitals said.

“The Delhi Capitals medical team is closely monitoring Marsh’s condition," the team said in a statement on Twitter. “All remaining members of the bubble are currently in isolation in their respective rooms, and will be tested regularly."

Marsh will have to isolate himself for at least a week in order not to miss Wednesday and Saturday's matches against the Punjab Kings in a duel with the Rajasthan Royals.

These matches can be compromised anyway, as the IPL has strict rules for COVID cases after last year's release was stopped in the middle of the tournament due to a series of virus outbreaks in team camp.
