England batsman Jos Buttler shows just how much he is missing cricket with hilarious Pilates routine in full whites, helmet and pads

Jos Buttler was clearly looking for any excuse to get padded up with the whole no-cricket thing going on.

After the ECB announced the suspension of domestic cricket until May 28 due to coronavirus, the England wicket-keeper batsman has obviously been left with a hole in his life.

But that's not to say the 29-year-old hasn't been keeping himself active.

Buttler offered himself services as a prop to help his wife and Pilates teacher Louise share five simple exercises on Instagram.

We're just not sure he needed to be in full whites, pads, gloves and a helmet.

In the hilarious clip, you can see Buttler trying to hold back the laughter as his wife introduces the exercises.

Speaking of full kit, footballers have been completing various stay at home challenges, too, mainly featuring tricks with toilet roll.

John Terry might've delivered our favourite - volleying a bog roll into a replica Champions League trophy, with the caption: “I was going to put my kit on but I couldn’t find my shin pads.”

Terry was referring to his infamous behaviour immediately after Chelsea won the 2012 Champions League final on penalties against Bayern Munich.

The former Blues skipper played no part in the game after getting sent off in the semi-final victory over Barcelona – but that didn’t stop him revealing a full-kit as he celebrated with his teammates.
