Watch: Rugby legend pads up

New Zealand rugby great Dan Carter swapped the rugby attire for a pair of cricket pads and gloves as he took on a few throw-downs from his son during the country’s nationwide lockdown.

The pictures that he posted on his Instagram account, alongside a video on his story, sparked a wave of comments by former cricketers with Morné Morkel, Kevin Pietersen and Herschelle Gibbs all crediting his efforts.

It’s going to be a long month in lockdown so I decided to start a 30 day test match with Marco. Let’s see if I can bat for 30 days straight ? #familychallenge #exercise
