IPL 2022 | Mitchell Marsh, Tim Seifert recover from Covid; join Delhi Capitals squad
In a heartening development, Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh and New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert have recovered from Covid-19 and have rejoined the Delhi Capitals camp.
Marsh and Seifert were two of the six members who tested positive following a proliferation of the deadly virus in the Capitals camp last week.
Marsh, who had just recovered from an injury he sustained during the Pakistan tour, was eventually hospitalized and placed under close observation.
In the meantime, with more cases emerging, fresh tests were ordered ahead of their fixture against the Punjab Kings, where Seifert was tested for the virus.
Now that they have fully recovered, the duo have joined the DC set-up. However, there is still no confirmation about their availability for selection.
The Capitals' social media accounts posted their pictures on Wednesday with a caption that read:
"We are feeling GOOD. Great to have you back at the training, boys."
Meanwhile, DC have endured a stop-start campaign thus far. While the infiltration of coronavirus in their camp hasn't helped, the inconsistency in their performances have added to the woes.
Despite all the off-field troubles, they still managed to thump Punjab Kings by nine wickets but were well beaten by the Rajasthan Royals in a controversial high-scoring encounter last week.
Delhi is languishing at the seventh spot in the points table with just three wins after seven games. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the defeat in their last game when they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium on April 28.
