Daniel Sams will soon be available to Royal Challengers Bangalore after coming out of quarantine following a positive Covid-19 test.

The Australian tested positive for the novel coronavirus on April 7, despite arriving in India four days previously with a negative test, and had been in isolation since.

On Saturday, however, RCB confirmed that Sams had submitted another negative test and was free to enter the IPL bubble.

A statement from the franchise read: "We are pleased to inform that Royal Challengers Bangalore allrounder Daniel Sams has joined the RCB bubble on April 17 with negative reports for Covid.

"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."

RCB have the only 100 per cent record remaining in this year's IPL. They face Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.
