IPL 2021: Pacer Daniel Sams Joins RCB After Negative Report

Australia pace bowling all-rounder Daniel Sams has joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) camp following negative reports for Covid-19. Sams had tested positive for Covid-19 on April 7 and was put in the designated medical facility.

"We are pleased to inform that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) all-rounder Daniel Sams has joined the RCB bio-bubble on April 17 with negative reports for Covid-19," said a statement from the franchise.

"The RCB medical team was in constant touch with Sams to ensure his safety and declared him fit to join the team after all the required examinations as part of the BCCI protocols," the statement added.

"RCB medical team was in constant touch with Sams and has declared him fit to join the team after adhering to all the BCCI protocols. #PlayBold #IPL2021," tweeted RCB on their handle.

The all-rounder, who represented Delhi Capitals in the last season, was traded to RCB for this season in January.

While Sams was the highest wicket-taker in the Big Bash League, he played only three matches for Delhi Capitals last season, which was also his first season in IPL, and couldn't take a single wicket. 
 

Daniel Sams is out of quarantine and has joined the RCB bio-bubble today with two consecutive negative reports for COVID-19.
