COVID-19 pandemic: Steve Smith working on hand-eye coordination

SYDNEY: Premier

Australia batsman Steve Smith

is making sure he keeps honing his skills even though no cricketing activities are currently taking place due to coronavirus pandemic.


At home with his family during the isolation period, Smith is working on improving his hand-eye coordination through isolation batting.

"Nice little exercise that we can do at home to improve our skills, particularly the hand-eye coordination," said Smith in the 50-second long video on Instagram on Wednesday.


He then takes a tennis ball and hits it against a wall numerous times while focussing on the bat face and his feet movement.

"Just a little bit of #isobatting to keep up the hand-eye coordination #cricketdrill #stayhome #stayactive," he captioned the video.
