Former England cricketer Ian Bell joined the #ToiletRollChalenge and showed how it’s done with the bat. The 286-capped former English international is perhaps one of the first cricketers to try out the #ToiletRollChalenge, in which traditionally the player takes 10 touches before shooting the toilet roll. While the challenge was mostly performed by footballers, ranging from Marcus Rashford to Lionel Messi, Bell tweaked the rules and made it more of one-touch #ToiletRollChalenge. The 37-year-old posted a video on his Twitter handle in which he can be sending the toilet roll on a ride with a glorious cover drive. Shane Warne's Seven Zero Eight Gin Company to Make Hand Sanitisers Amid Coronavirus Outbreak.

In the video, Bell can be seen hitting a full toss, from his son, for an exquisite cover drive. The former England batsman than holds his pose in his trademark style before hitting the ground to suggest he is checking the pitch. “Combining the #ToiletRollChallenge with my at-home training schedule,” Bell captioned his video. The cricketer was assisted by his children in completing the challenge and he later thanked them for participating.

“Thanks to the stand-in bowling and fielding team for assisting with my batting practice,” said Bell before cheekily mentioning “Pleased the full toss got the treatment it deserved though.” Lord’s Cricket Ground even commented on the cricketer’s video “Straight out of the MCC Manual” to describe the perfectness of the cover drive.
