IND Vs AUS Women: The Indian women's cricket team has arrived on the Australian tour to play three ODIs, three T20s and one Test. But the Indian players on the Tour of Australia are facing difficulties. Players are going through a strict 14-day quarantine before the start of the series. Such stringent restrictions were not applicable to the Indian men's team.
Players are not able to practice much in the rooms provided during the quarantine period. The BCCI official said, "The rooms are very small. You can barely manage to do some training. There are no guards manning the place like the players witnessed in the UK but the quarantine is very strict''
Players are being given good food though. The official said, "The food being served is fine and the menu changes every day. But two weeks will be quite challenging.''

The tour itinerary also changed due to covid-19 restrictions in Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne.
