Ricky Ponting oversaw his first nets session with the Delhi Capitals this year after completing his quarantine in the UAE.

The former Australia captain had arrived later than the rest of the squad that travelled to Dubai last week to prepare for this year's Indian Premier League.

The rescheduled IPL season will be played in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi from September 19 to November 10.

The tournament was moved to the UAE due to the health situation in India caused by the coronavirus pandemic. While the IPL will be played in a bio-secure environment, the Emirates Cricket Board hopes fans will be allowed at the venues at some stage.
