The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced a change of venue for Delhi Capital versus Punjab Kings from MCA Stadium, Pune to Brabourne – CCI scheduled on April 20 to avoid any further incident due to any undetected case during a long-distance bus journey in a closed environment.

The Covid-positive players 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.
