The 16-time WWE Champion took to Twitter to share his experience of learning the ropes in a sport that isn’t so commonly played in the United States of America (USA).

Watson, who took up the job of aiding the wrestling champ in his bid to master the game, also shared an image of the two.

Despite Cena’s lack of faith in his cricketing abilities, Australia’s Big Bash League outfit Sydney Thunders was confident that he could hit a few big ones.

The league is set to commence on December 9 as the Sydney Thunder take on Melbourne Renegades at North Sydney Oval.
