Change in venue, Brabourne to host DC-PBKS IPL match tomorrow
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced a change of venue for Delhi Capital versus Punjab Kings match from MCA Stadium, Pune to Brabourne scheduled to be held on Wednesday.
The decision has been taken to avoid any further incident due to any undetected case during a long-distance bus journey in a closed environment.
The change of venue has been triggered due to five COVID-19 positive cases in the Delhi Capitals contingent.
The Covid-19 positive cases are under isolation and medical observation.
They will be tested on day 6 and 7 and subject to both the tests being negative they will be re-integrated into the Delhi Capitals bio-secured bubble.
From Apr 16 onwards, the entire Delhi Capitals contingent have been put under a daily RT-PCR testing procedure.
The fourth round of RT-PCR tests conducted on Apr 19 have returned negative.
The Delhi Capitals contingent will undergo another round of RT-PCR testing on the morning of Apr 20.
