Royal Challengers Bangalore's Australian all-rounder Daniel Sams has tested positive for COVID-19, the franchise revealed on Wednesday (April 7).
Sams had linked up with the RCB squad in Chennai on April 3 with a negative report but has returned a positive result in subsequent testing made mandatory as per the IPL SOPs. This was the second test conducted in the team hotel.
Sams is said to be asymptomatic thus far and has been isolated at a "designated medical facility", the club said in a statement.
"Royal Challengers Bangalore medical team is in constant touch with Daniel Sams and continues to monitor his health and abide by the BCCI protocols," the statement added.
RCB's highest run-getter in IPL 2020, Devdutt Padikkal, too, had tested positive for covid-19 earlier and is yet to link up with the squad. The opener is currently in isolation at his residence in Bengaluru
