It's been a while since any competitive cricket has been played and cricketers have found creative ways to keep themselves engaged while staying at home.
It is important, especially for athletes, to stay fit even from the confines of home. Lack of equipment shouldn't be a problem, as Azhar Ali will demonstrate.

David Warner's training included some catching practice and he even had a keen spectator.
The enforced cricket break has given players an opportunity to catch up on precious family time.

Not just the cricketers, but the fans too, found a way to remain close to cricket!
Just because you're doing the right thing and socially isolating, doesn't mean you can't get your cricket fix!#LoveCricket #IsolationCricket pic.twitter.com/2RAdvPfU7s

Fun and games aside, the overarching message remains the same. Stay home and stay safe and we can overcome this!
Hope everyone is safe and sound around the world. I humbly request ALL to stay home. Let's smash the #coronavirus out of the park. But we can only do it together. #StayHome and #StaySafe!

As the nation goes into a lockdown, this is a good reminder to my citizens.
Don't wander out. Stay inside, stay safe! #21DayLockdown pic.twitter.com/bSN1454kFt
Today India came together even while staying in our homes.

While we are at home there are many who are selflessly performing their duties.
Thank you to each one of you for putting us before yourself.
The discipline & commitment we showed today needs to continue.#JantaCurfew pic.twitter.com/Cda4z9L4R7
