In the final game at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Australian all-rounder Tahlia McGrath was allowed to play even after testing positive on Sunday. She was experiencing mild symptoms, but following consultation with health experts, team and match officials, she has been allowed to participate.

McGrath, who had replaced Ellyse Perry in Australia's playing XI, was spotted wearing a mask in the dressing room and seen sitting away from the rest of the team.

Seeing that no action was taken and she was even sent to bat has got Indian fans shocked and fuming in anger. They believe there is a chance of other players getting infected.

If Tahlia McGrath is tested covid positive with symptoms, why did India agree her to be played, putting health of the players at risk.

Remember what Australia did to Novak Djokovic when he wasn't not vaccinated? https://t.co/xR0yHh9zs0
