MELBOURNE – Five Indian cricket team players have been placed in isolation as a precaution after a video of them eating indoors at a restaurant in Melbourne went viral on social media.
Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw and Navdeep Saini, all part of India's Test squad to play Australia, will be isolated from other players but are still allowed to train.
The management of both the teams are investigating to determine whether bio-secure protocols for the tour have been breached, the BBC reported.
The third Test begins on 6 January.
An India supporter posted a video on social media of the five players eating indoors at a restaurant on New Year's Day.
