David Warner shaves off his head in support of medical staff amid COVID-19 outbreak, nominates Steve Smith, Virat Kohli

The Coronavirus pandemic has given people ample time to sit at home and surely, not being able to do anything, many new challenges are popping up on social media.

Even cricketers are taking part in these challenges and are nominating others to continue the chain. Australia cricketer David Warner has also done the same and has nominated his teammate Steve Smith and Indian skipper, Virat Kohli.

Warner on Tuesday shaved off his head to show support towards all those people who are working relentlessly on the frontline amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

The opening-batsman shared a time-lapse video on Instagram, of him shaving his head, and captioned the post as: "Been nominated to shave my head in support of those working on the frontline #Covid-19 here is a time-lapse. I think my debut was the last time I recall I`ve done this. Like it or not".

Australia's death toll stands at 19 due to coronavirus, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. As of 8 am today, 4460 people across Australia have been tested positive for COVID-19.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) had termed coronavirus as a 'pandemic' on March 11 and Australia Test skipper Tim Paine also confirmed that the side's tour of Bangladesh is unlikely due to the virus spread.

"You don't have to be Einstein to realise (the Bangladesh tour) is probably unlikely to go ahead, particularly in June. Whether it's cancelled or pushed back, we're not quite sure at the moment," cricket.com.au quoted Paine as saying.

As for the World test Championship, Australia are currently on the second spot with 296 points from 10 matches, while India has 360 points from nine matches and top the table.
