Due to this recent Coronavirus outbreak, all the cricketing activities are suspended as the whole nation goes under 21-day lockdown. Thus, Indian batsman, Hanuma Vihari is looking to "sharpen" his skills for the Australian tour.

“I am going to use this time to focus on my fitness, sharpen my skills for county cricket as well as for the Australia tour in late 2020,” Vihari was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

As the resumption of cricket looking uncertain, the right-hander is hoping for the English County Championship to help him.

“Mentally I am trying hard to keep myself positive and busy. My challenge is: there is no cricket for the next three to four months. I do have a summer to look forward to having signed with a team in the English County Championship, where my contract starts from late August. Fingers crossed about that,” he said.

When asked about this break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he said, “A few days into this enforced break because of the pandemic, I know boredom will set in easily, but I have a solution for that: watching the 2005 Ashes on video. It is my favorite. I have lost count of how many times I have watched it.”

“One good thing that will come out of this break is: I will able to celebrate my first wedding anniversary with my wife on 19 May. In normal circumstances, I might have been busy with cricket. So at least one person is not complaining too much,” he added.
