With cricket not happening at any level in the wake of the novel COVID-19, most of the cricketers are taking to their respective social media handles to engage with fans in times when they don’t have much else to do.
Former India opening batsman Wasim Jaffer, former Australia spinner Brad Hogg, New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan, India limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma and spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and India Women’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur are among the many cricketers who have expressed their opinion across facets of the game in one way or the other.
England fast bowlers in Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett are the latest cricketers to join the bandwagon as they took to their respective social media handles to nail the “Sexy Kitten Challenge”.
It all started after England batsman Joe Denly challenged Wood to perform the hilarious dance form. Wood, who acted like a sport, not just accepted the challenge but also put on display an amusing performance.
In return, Wood ended up challenging Denly. In addition to the same, Wood also challenged Plunkett in his Instagram post. Much like Wood, Plunkett also didn’t take much time in uploading his performance across his social media platforms. Plunkett forwarded the challenge to England opening batsman Jason Roy and the all-rounder pair of David Willey and Chris Woakes.
While Wood last played for England during the tour of South Africa earlier this year, the last of Plunkett’s 89 ODIs was the final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup at Lord’s last year.
