<p>Warner, shared a time-lapse video on Instagram, of him shaving his head, and captioned the post as: "Been nominated to shave my head in support of those working on the frontline #Covid-19 here is a time-lapse. I think my debut was the last time I recall I've done this. Like it or not".</p>
<p>Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Australia's death toll stands at 19, as per the Sydney Morning Herald. As of 8 am today, 4460 people across Australia have tested positive for COVID-19. The World Health Organisation had termed coronavirus as a 'pandemic' on March 11.</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, Australia Test skipper Tim Paine also confirmed that the side's tour of Bangladesh is unlikely due to the virus spread.</p>
<p>"You don't have to be Einstein to realise (the Bangladesh tour) is probably unlikely to go ahead, particularly in June. Whether it's cancelled or pushed back, we're not quite sure at the moment," cricket.com.au quoted Paine as saying.</p>
<p>Currently, Australia has 296 points in the WTC from 10 matches, while India has 360 points from nine matches.</p>
