Is cricket Indias national sport

Nope
Hockey is the national sport of India.
Cricket is the national sport of West Indies.

Is there a reason why cricket outfits are white?

Only TEST Matches have a white jersey with team logo, sponsors and the player name and number.
In other formats of cricket every country have their unique jerseys.

Could someone explain what LBW means?

It is quite difficult to explain LBW.
It stands for Leg Before Wicket.
When the ball hits the batsman's body (except hands) without having contact with the bat then LBW happens.
There are certain conditions after which it is given OUT.
1. Ball shouldn't pitch/hit the ground outside the line of leg stump.
2. The impact where the ball hits the pads should be on the stumps(only when batsman tries to play a genuine shot).
3. If there was no pads and batsman the ball should hit the stumps.

Yesterday was 02/02/2020. A palindrome date!

Also the day in which the date format (mm/dd or dd/mm) doesn't matter. Cheers to zero confusion for 24 hours

My staff have just been briefed on the Coronavirus, it's spreading quickly but there are ways to limit catching it!

Avoid touching your face/eyes when you're out and about.
Use paper tissues to cough or sneeze into, then get rid of tissue in a bin that has a lid on it.
Avoid shaking hands if possible.
Keep your hands clean by washing them frequently with hot water and soap.
Use a hand sanitiser.

Just a few tips to keep my friends here safe and well!
