Hussey is currently under 10 days of quarantine and will return to Australia after he completes the isolation period. Hussey is the only international player who got tested positive for COVID-19.

“His (Hussey’s) symptoms are relatively mild, so he’s in for a stint of isolation in his hotel for at least 10 days, but his team have got some really good support systems around him, which is good,” Todd Greenberg, the Australian Cricketers’ Association Chief Executive, was quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald.
