With the county cricket season on hold, Middlesex batsman Stevie Eskinazi plans on finishing his education.
Along with a number of team-mates, the 26-year-old is studying a business and sport management degree.
“Now I’m back in Melbourne in self-quarantine, I may as well crack on,” he said. “You could see four Middlesex players graduate at the end of this isolation period.
“There’s also an online coding course that I’m looking to get into.
“Sport is seen as cool but if you have your wits about you, and add to that skill-set, you’re in a powerful position,” he said.
England cricketer Tammy Beaumont is also studying. She said: “Cricket is such a mental game, my mind needed some stimulation.
“If all you’ve ever been is a cricketer and seen yourself as that, you’re going to struggle mentally overcoming your self-worth and self-esteem. I’m keen to work on that over the next few years.”
