Sydney: Five Indian cricketers, including Rohit Sharma, have been placed in isolation after a video surfaced online where they could be seen seemingly eating in  an indoor venue on Friday in Melbourne city.

The players – Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw and Navdeep Saini – have been separated from the Indian and Australian squads but will still train "in accordance with the strict protocols that have been put in place to ensure the ongoing safety of all members of the Indian and Australian squads," said a Cricket Australia statement.

"The BCCI and CA are investigating the matter and seeking to determine whether the outing constitutes a breach of biosecurity protocols," read the statement.

"In the interim, on the advice of the Australian and Indian medical teams, the aforementioned players have been placed in isolation as a precaution. This will include separating the group of players from the broader Indian and Australian squads when traveling and at the training venue," the statement said.

The Test series between India and Australia is being played amid a backdrop of biosecurity rules.

Players and staff are permitted to leave the hotel but must dine outdoors during the Melbourne leg of the tour, reports Cricket Australia.
