India vs Australia: 5 Indian players in isolation, authorities probe breach of Covid protocol

Five India Test players have been put in isolation and an investigation launched into a possible breach of the bio-security protocol by them, according to Cricket Australia. Five India Test players, included vice-captain Rohit Sharma, rising opener Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. BCCI brass had initially ruled out any investigation on its part, but Cricket Australia's late statement said a joint probe is on and the five have been isolated from the remaining team. This was after a fan put out a video of the players eating at an indoor restaurant on Twitter on Friday. He claimed to have been seated close to them and also talked about getting a hug from Pant after he paid for the players' meal. He later retracted the claim about the hug after it raised serious questions on a breach of protocol.
