In April, Azharuddin donated rupees one lakh to the Indian Cricketers' Association in a bid to help former players who are in dire need of funds amid the coronavirus-enforced lockdown.

Azharuddin, much like other current and former cricketers, has been active on social media amid the coronavirus pandemic and has urged his fans to stay indoors and follow the guidelines of the government.

Azharuddin's last appearance in an India jersey came over two decades back when he took the field against Pakistan in an Asia cup encounter in June 2000.

The 57-year-old has played 99 Test matches for the country and scored 6,215 runs with an impressive average of over 45. He scored 22 centuries in the longest format of the game.

In the 50-over format, Azharuddin represented India in 334 matches in which he scored 9,378 runs and went past the 100-run mark seven times.

In September last year, the former India batsman was named the president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association.
