Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel is set to join back his team after contracting coronavirus last week, said the team's director Mustafa Ghouse. 

"Ya, Axar is better. Saturday will be day 10 of his quarantine process. Hopefully 3-4 more days, a couple of negative tests and he will be ready to join the team. We are running tests on him over the next few days to know how quickly we can get him back, available for selection," said the DC team director. 

Patel tested positive for Covid-19 despite having a negative report while checking into the team hotel and contracted the virus after that. 

"He had checked into the team hotel in Mumbai on March 28 with a negative report. His report from the 2nd COVID test came positive. He is in isolation at a designated medical care facility," DC had said in their statement.
