Two members of Australia’s women’s cricket team have been “touched inappropriately” in India, Cricket Australia (CA) has said.
The players were reportedly walking back to a cafe in Indore on Thursday, the morning after Australia defeated England by six wickets in the Women’s Cricket World Cup.
CA said the duo were harassed by a person on a motorcycle, and the team had alerted police.

“The matter was reported by team security to police who are handling the matter.”
Indian news outlet, The Times Of India, reported that a suspect had been identified by local police.
Australia plays its final pool match of the tournament on Saturday against South Africa, before next week’s semifinal.
