    The use of saliva to shine the cricket ball, especially in the red-ball format, is primarily meant for swing bowling but the practice is now being seen as a health risk. As the ICC last month contemplated banning the use of saliva as a safety measure in what is expected to be a very different world, it has throw the floor open for a fierce debate in the cricket community. Ball-Tampering Could be Allowed in Cricket Post COVID-19, Says Ex-Australia Captain Ian Chappell.

    Only time will tell how much of an imbalance between the bat and ball will the whole thing cause but fast bowing greats such as Michael Holding and Waqar Younis have already expressed their aversion to the idea. Another notable point discussed in the meeting was re-introduction of two non-neutral umpires in bilateral series for the time being.The recommendations will be put before the ICC Board for ratification.
