Slowly but surely, cricketers are returning to training.

Ishant Sharma was spotted training and the India pacer posted a picture and video of training on Instagram.

'Engaging myself with positivity and practicing while maintaining social distancing', Ishant captioned the post (a mouthful, Ish!!).

Ishant's next international assignment will likely be the tour of Australia in December -- that is if coronavirus beats a retreat and the BCCI and Cricket Australia decide to go ahead with the Test series.

While all professional cricketers need four to six weeks to regain match fitness, that task is tougher for bowlers who are at a bigger risk of getting injured after a long break.
