South Australian players evicted from an Adelaide nightclub for allegedly breaching Covid-19 protocols, investigation launched

After the conclusion of the Sheffield Shield match between South Australia and Queensland, it has been reported that several South Australian players had breached the Covid-19 protocols, and some of them were even found dancing.

The South Australian police also confirmed that as many as 10 people were asked to vacate the Cry Baby nightclub on Tuesday morning due to misbehaviour. The South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) also released a statement regarding the matter as well.

The SACA confirmed in their statement that they are aware of the incident involving the players in a nightclub. The SACA also added that even though there has not been a formal complaint filed, the SACA will surely investigate the allegations that have been levelled.

“SACA has been made aware of an allegation that several Redback players were asked to leave a city venue following concerns about their behaviour. While SACA has not received a formal complaint from any party, the details and circumstances surrounding the allegations are currently being investigated,” read the statement released by the SACA.
