The Big Bash League (BBL) team Brisbane Heat on Monday shared a funny video on their official Twitter account to create much-needed awareness about the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. While there are plenty of videos available on the internet explaining how to wash hands correctly, there is nothing like Brisbane Heat conveyed the important message with a sense of humour. They chose an innovative way to show the awareness to everyone across the globe through their message, they used many clippings from an old match featuring Brisbane Heat stars such as AB de Villiers, Chris Lynn and Marnus Labuschagne, and it became a hilarious video as well.
“Don’t be that person!! Person gesturing not ok. Wash your hands correctly, take care of each other, act responsibly, and most importantly, help stop the spread. #COVID19 #COVID19Aus #coronavirus,” Brisbane Heat captioned the video on Twitter.
