Two members of the Australian women’s cricket team were inappropriately touched by a motorcyclist in Indore, Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed on Friday.
The incident took place on Thursday morning when the players were walking back to a café, a day after Australia defeated England by six wickets in the Women’s World Cup.
“CA can confirm two members of the Australian women’s team were approached and touched inappropriately by a motorcyclist while walking to a café in Indore,” the board said in a statement.
“The matter was reported by team security to police who are handling the matter.”
According to Indian media reports, local police have identified a suspect in connection with the case.
Australia is currently in India for the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup and will play its final group match against South Africa today — before next week’s semifinal.
