The Indian team landed in Sydney on Thursday for their tour of Australia, which begins with the limited overs series on November 27.

Virat Kohli's team will undergo a 14 day quarantine on the outskirts of Sydney, during which they will be allowed to train at the Blacktown International Sports Park.

With the players having to stay in the bio-bubble for the next two months during the tour, which includes three ODIs and as many ODIs, along with four Test matches, some of the players opted to bring their families to help them cope with the isolation.
