England pacers Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes were trolled by fans on Twitter over their expressions while taking a COVID-19 test recently. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) shared images of England players getting their temperatures checked on their official Twitter handle and fans were quick to take a jibe on the two England pacers.
