Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore has issued a statement after a stone was thrown at the Australian cricket team's bus late last night in Guwahati.

Rathore wrote, ""Guwahati stone-throwing incident NOT reflective of our security measures. Aus team & FIFA are content with those. India remains a graceful host.

Have spoken to CM Sarbanand Sonwal ji about the Guwahati incident. Personal security of visiting athletes & teams is extremely important for us."

Australia's cricket team suffered a scare following their Twenty20 International victory over India in Guwahati on Tuesday after a rock was thrown at their team bus, shattering one of the windows.

Players and staff were travelling from Busapara Stadium back to their team hotel in the eastern city when the rock pierced the window on the right-hand side of the bus, CA said on its website.
