Sports Desk: The Indian cricket team is in trouble after five cricketers, including Rohit Sharma and Rishav Pant, broke the rules. The fourth match of the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia has raised fears.

The local administration in Australia did not take the issue of breaking the rules of the players very well in reality. India and Australia will meet in the third match of the series on January 8 (Thursday) at the Sydney Cricket Ground. When the two teams were tied 1-1 on the field, the tension in the other two matches was supposed to be at its peak. But in the Corona situation, the situation is changing again and again due to off-field incidents. The central and provincial governments have taken a cautious stance as the Corona situation in Australia continues to deteriorate.

That's why players from both teams have to be in the mandatory quarantine when they go to Brisbane to play the last match. However, according to the previously announced schedule, the two teams are scheduled to play in Brisbane on January 15 after the Sydney Test. The Queensland government has closed its borders due to Corona's warning. Quarantine rules have also been laid down when traveling from another city to that province. Which will also apply to the Australian cricket team. The Indian cricket team has not yet been officially notified. However, India has unofficially said that if they go to Queensland and stay in a hotel again, they will not play a fourth match there. Instead, they are in favor of ending the series by playing the fourth match in Sydney or somewhere else.

"We did a 14-day quarantine in Dubai before coming to Australia," an Indian team source told popular cricket-based website CricketBuzz. Being in captivity is a very difficult thing to do. We are not in favor of playing in Brisbane, if we have to stay at the hotel instead of going on the field again. The series could end somewhere else. ' The Queensland government did not agree to any concessions despite the Indian team's comments. On the contrary, they have strongly stated that there is no need for India to play if the provincial government does not follow the rules. If necessary, the game will not be played in Brisbane, but there will be no concessions in the rules.

"If the Indians don't agree to play by the rules, they don't need to come," said Ross Bates, Queensland's shadow health minister. "If the Indian team wants to break the rules and not follow the quarantine rules, they don't need to come to play the fourth Test," he said. The same rule applies to everyone. '
