Five Indian cricket players are isolating as a precaution after a video on social media showed them eating indoors at a Melbourne restaurant.

They are Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw and Navdeep Saini.

Australia and India are investigating to determine whether bio-secure protocols for the tour have been breached as the third test will start next week.

The tour is being played with restrictions to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus where players and staff are allowed to leave their hotel but if they attend a restaurant, they must remain outdoors.
