A man has been arrested for approaching two of Australia's women cricketers and allegedly touching them inappropriately in Indore, Indian police said on Saturday.

The incident occurred on Thursday, a day after Australia's six-wicket victory over England in the group stage of the Women's World Cup.

The two players were walking to a cafe from their hotel when they were allegedly approached by a motorcyclist.

"The security officers of the women's Australian cricket team filed a complaint that two members of the team faced inappropriate behaviour," additional deputy commissioner of police, Rajesh Dandotiya, told Indian news agency ANI.
