The Coronavirus spread is becoming severe every passing day. Therefore, as of now, medical experts are suggesting everyone to stay clean, sanitise their hands regularly, and avoid public contacts. Recently, during the Australia Vs New Zealand match at Sydney Cricket ground, the players did not shake any hands.

Teams decide not to shake hands anymore

The first time a team used fist bumps for greeting was the England team. Now, this method of greeting is being used by all the players worldwide. Using fist bumps reduces the physical contact between two players. That results in reducing the possibility of any disease transmission between two individuals.

On top of that, the Australia Vs New Zealand match did not take place in front of a life audience. The decision is to ensure this entire series happens without an audience present. Once the first match commenced, the players of both teams did not do the customary hand-shake. Not only that, the players did not even celebrate any wicket with high-fives. All the celebration is being done via elbow taps and quick fist bumps.
