The Australian off-spinner, Nathan Lyon reckons that the India team needs to ‘stop complaining’ about harsher restrictions for the fourth Test in Brisbane and get on with it’. There have been reports over the past couple of days of Team India not willing to travel to Brisbane for the fourth Test after the third Test in Sydney.

Talking about the same, during a media interaction, Lyon said, “I know there are a few people from both squads who have been in a bubble for close to six months now but in my eyes, it is a very small sacrifice for us to go out there and play the game we love and put a lot of smiles on a lot of people’s faces around the world.”

The Indian team’s reported reluctance came after  Cricket Australia announced that five Indian cricketers – Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Navdeep Saini, Rishabh Pant, and Prithvi Shaw, are isolated after an alleged breach of quarantine protocols during a dine-out in a Melbourne restaurant. Lyon said that the matter should be left behind and players need to focus on following the schedule.

When asked if he is preparing a Plan B in case the fourth Test gets shifted from Gabba in Brisbane to Sydney, Nathan Lyon explained that he is sticking to Plan A as he hasn’t heard anything about the fourth Test being moved from Brisbane.

Lyon elaborated, “100% going and playing in Brisbane and sticking with Plan A. We all know how much we love playing at Gabba and we know our result there as well with our record. I am not really worried about what is being reported. Everyone keeps talking about the Gabba Test match but there’s a massive Test match in just a couple of days at the SCG (Sydney Cricket Ground) and that’s where all our focus is 100 per cent at. So we just have to get on with it. “
