While both the teams are currently in Brisbane, playing their respective warm-up matches, the cricketers from the sides are often seen taking the net practice together.

In a video from the same day which is now doing rounds on the internet  the experienced duo was interrupted by England batter Phil Salt. He was spotted making a request to the Indian pacer to bowl some deliveries in the nets.
