Pujara made his last appearance for the national side during their tour of New Zealand. He was also part of the Saurashtra team that clinched their maiden Ranji Trophy title this season.

Currently, all the cricketing activities across the globe are at standstill due to coronavirus pandemic. The BCCI had earlier also postponed the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 till April 15. 

The BCCI on Saturday decided to donate Rs 51 crore to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund in the country’s effort to fight COVID-19. 

On March 24, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 21-day lockdown in the country till April 14 in order to reduce the spread of coronavirus that was termed pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) a few weeks ago.
