The ICC is considering legalizing the illegal act

The coronavirus virus is changing the old ways. How many traditional ideas are changing. Suppose that in cricket, bowlers have spit out the ball with saliva or saliva from time to time. Sometimes someone has resorted to immoral means to light the ball. The star cricket player also received great punishment.

But the ICC is now thinking about how to legitimize the issue of ball distortion. The ICC is forced to think about it because of the corona virus. Cricket law says a team can make the ball shine if they want to, but you can’t use artificial material for that. The ball is wet, it can be cleaned with a towel, if it gets dirty it can be removed under the supervision of the referee. Even saliva can be used to make the ball shine, but nothing else can be used. Any attempt to change the position of the ball in any other way is unethical, this is manipulation of the ball.

Cricket players use spit-spit more than any other way to make the ball shine legally. But as Kovid-19 disease has become an epidemic, we have to think again about the use of saliva. If the use of saliva is stopped, the bowlers will be in trouble.

The old movement of the red ball is hard to find. Then the task will be fairly easy for hitters. A few days ago, Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said: ‘(without using saliva) being white may not be a problem. But it is difficult in the cricket test. Bowlers rely heavily on any type of lateral movement in the air. If the 60-plus ball can’t be properly held after the glow fades at first, the task becomes much easier for hitters. Whatever red or sweat you wear, only one can do it. But I am not sure what the solution is. There is more to discuss about it. I hope a good solution arrives.

If saliva or saliva is not allowed, then there is an alternative idea to keep the ball shiny. The ball may be illuminated with a recognized artificial object in front of the referee to keep the stick ball fight uniform. If the idea becomes reality, it can be said that the manipulation will have legitimacy in another sense. There is no alternative to this decision as health risks increase. The ICC Cricket Committee and MCC, the two governing bodies of cricket, may discuss the matter later this month or early June.

The head of the ICC Medical Committee. Peter Harcourt said: ‘The situation is changing rapidly. There is still a lot to learn about Covid-19 disease. This can make the decision more difficult. The ICC Medical Committee is working with medical representatives from member countries to get a complete picture of the problems facing cricket.
