India captain Ajinkya Rahane tried to douse the quarantine controversy on Wednesday, stating that his team is "not annoyed" with strict bio-safety protocols but conceded that it was "challenging" to be confined when life outside their five-star facility here seems to be "normal".

There have been unconfirmed media reports that the Indian contingent has been unhappy with the quarantine protocols in Sydney where they have been confined to hotel and even stricter rules issued for venue of the fourth Test Brisbane, where they wouldn`t even move out of their respective rooms. "We are not at all annoyed but yes there are some challenges in quarantine as life in Sydney is completely normal. We are not at all annoyed and we know what`s our priority here," the Indian captain made it clear while fielding a series of questions on the eve of the third Test here.
