Why Indian players will not be quarantined?
The players of the Indian cricket team were living in Bio Bubble in Australia. They were tested just before leaving Australia and they all have tested negative. The report of the tests were provided at the airport. Thus players were then exempted from the quarantine rules.
On arrival in Mumbai, Rahane, Shastri, Rohit, Shardul and Shaw were felicitated by Mumbai Cricket Association officials, including President Vijay Patil and Apex Council members Ajinkya Naik, Amit Dani and Umesh Khanvilka. Rahane also cut a cake to celebrate the team's win.
