Two unidentified players were reportedly approached by a man on a motorbike while walking from their hotel to a nearby cafe, during which the man allegedly behaved inappropriately towards them.

Cricket Australia promptly reported the matter, leading to the swift arrest of Akil Khan. Local police managed to apprehend him by utilizing CCTV footage.

The incident was quickly reported by Cricket Australia, and Akil Khan was arrested after local police used CCTV to track him down. (Nine)

While in custody, Khan sustained injuries, including a suspected broken arm and leg, and was subsequently displayed to the media by the police.

Authorities informed local news outlets that Khan faces charges under sections 74 and 78 of the criminal code. These sections pertain to using criminal force against women with the intent to violate their modesty and engaging in stalking behavior.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage across the nation and ignited discussions about the safety of visiting sports teams in India.

Politicians have blamed each other for a lack of law and order in the city of Indore, in the country’s central west.

State Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya called the alleged attack a stain on the country’s image, whilst another tried to reassure the public by pointing to Khan’s arrest.

The incident was described by Devajit Saiaka of the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) as “condemnable but stray”, and said it would review security protocols surrounding travelling teams.

Australia is currently ranked number one in the world, and the team was in Indore for an important Women’s World Cup match against South Africa at Holkar Stadium.

The Australians easily defeated South Africa and advanced to the semi-finals, where they will take on India.
