Australia joined other nations yesterday in announcing restrictions on arrivals from India.

But the two-week pause on all India flights – including repatriations – leaves 9,000 Australian nationals trapped in the country, many of whom have been trying to get home for months already.

Some cricketers – who went over last month for the Indian Premier League – are among those stranded.

One batsman, Chris Lynn, requested a chartered flight to return home which has been criticised by other Australians online.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has also said cricketers will not get preferential treatment.
