The BCCI has already assured that it will make arrangements for the return of the foreign players once the tournament ends.
DC spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Monday announced that he is taking a break from the IPL as his family is fighting with the virus.
Ishant Sharma missed the games against Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, which paved the way for 24-year-old pacer Avesh Khan's selection in the team.
Ashwin conceded just 14 runs and no boundaries in his three overs after being brought in following the powerplay on Thursday night when DC were defending a modest 148.
Pant won his debut match as captain in the IPL against MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings and Ponting believes that his energy is simply hard to miss.
DC, under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, will lock horns with three-time champions CSK at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
In the IPL 2021 auction, Smith was picked up by Capitals for INR 2.2 crore, just INR 20 lakh more than his base price of INR 2 crore.
Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting delivered a rousing speech to the squad ahead of the side's first match against Chennai Super Kings on April 10.
The former Australian captain added that it will be part of the coaching staff and the senior players' job to support the newly appointed captain in any way they can.
The former Australian skipper has been working with the 21-year-old for the past two seasons in the Delhi Capitals camp.
Rishabh Pant was named captain of Delhi Capitals in place of the injured Shreyas Iyer for the upcoming IPL 2021 season.
The group also included West Indian batsman Shimron Hetmyer.
Delhi Capitals start their IPL season on April 10 in Mumbai taking on Chennai Super Kings in a night game.

Following a brilliant run in the Test series, Pant will be making a comeback in the T20I set-up as India and England lock horns in a five-match T20I series.
The Indian captain has certainly made a point in the ongoing India-England series with two classic fifties but a record 42nd international century as a captain has been still allusive.
Ponting said India won all the key moments throughout the series and that was the difference between the two sides.
The injury-ravaged Indian team has shown great resilience and grit throughout the current tour of Australia.
