Meanwhile, all the global sporting events have either been postponed or canceled due to the global pandemic. Perry was last seen in action during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup where the Aussies successfully retained their title by defeating India at the iconic MCG on International Women's Day. The champion player was injured while fielding during their must-win final group game against New Zealand and was out of action for the semis and the grand finale. However, the Meg Lanning led side rose to the occasion when it mattered and won their fifth T20 World Cup.

Vijay, on the other hand, has been out of contention from the Indian Test squad for almost two years. He was all set to represent CSK in IPL 2020 that was originally scheduled to get underway with a clash between the three-time winners and defending champions Mumbai Indians at Mumbai's Wankhede  Stadium on March 29 but has now been indefinitely suspended due to COVID-19.
