England cricketers 'banned from sex'

England's cricket team are reportedly advised to avoid having sex as a stomach virus sweeps through the camp.

England's cricket team have reportedly been advised to avoid sex during the break between Test matches in South Africa.

The edict came after a stomach virus affecting journalists and corporate spectators began to filter down to members of the touring squad and staff, according to the Daily Mail.

England doctor Rob Young is said to have advised the players to "avoid physical contact wherever possible" and to regularly wash their hands with anti-bacterial gel.

The team are currently enjoying a three-day break before returning to training ahead of the third Test, which gets underway in Johannesburg on January 14.

Posting on his Instagram account earlier on Thursday, Stuart Broad revealed that he had boarded a private jet with his girlfriend, teammate Steven Finn and two other women.
