The ban on travellers from India by Australia had added"anxiety" for its cricketers after the Indian Premier League's suspension, Australia vice captain Pat Cummins said, as players isolated in the COVID-ravaged Asian nation on Wednesday.

Cummins said Australia's travel ban, which will be reviewed on May 15, had come as a"little bit" of a shock."It added a bit of anxiety for a few of the Aussies over here. But we signed up to play the tournament until the start of June.With 3.45 million active cases, India recorded 357,229 new infections on Tuesday, while deaths rose by 3,449 to 222,408.

Hussey would be the third case on the team, which has gone into isolation after announcing on Tuesday that their bowling coach and a"member of the travel support" had tested positive.Australia is currently allowing only limited flights and arrivals into the country, and roughly a quarter of the 35,000 Australians stranded overseas are in India.

"We said all along we will review the pause in travel arrangements and that's what we're doing, so be patient," McCormack told a morning TV chatshow on the Nine Network. Former Australia wicketkeeper and cricket pundit Adam Gilchrist queried whether the tournament should have gone ahead in India.
