International Cricket Council committee has recommended that players can’t use saliva to shine the ball. Former Indian captain Anil Kumble led ICC cricket committee and over video conferencing, it is recommended that players should not use Saliva to shine ball.
“We are living through extraordinary times and the recommendations the committee have made today are interim measures to enable us to safely resume cricket in a way that preserves the essence of our game whilst protecting everyone involved,” Anil Kumble said as quoted by ICC.
The fact is coronavirus might be transmitted if players use to shin the ball with Saliva. However there is no recommendation on the ban of sweat as it can’t be stopped.
“The ICC cricket committee heard from the chair of the ICC medical advisory committee Dr Peter Harcourt regarding the elevated risk of the transmission of the virus through saliva, and unanimously agreed to recommend that the use of saliva to polish the ball be prohibited,” ICC statement read.
As per medical advisory, it is said that sweat can’t transmit the virus from one to another. All precautions are being considered to revamp cricket again with taking players and official safety as well.
“The committee also noted the medical advice that it is highly unlikely that the virus can be transmitted through sweat and saw no need to prohibit the use of sweat to polish the ball whilst recommending that enhanced hygiene measures are implemented on and around the playing field.”
Also in the ICC committee meeting, it is recommended that an additional DRS in each inning should also come in to play in all three formats of the game.
It is also recommended that neutral umpires and match officials should be there. Foreign umpires and officials will not travel to the countries at least some solution is found for the COVID-19 pandemic.
ICC Chief executive committee will now review these recommendations in the first week of June for approval.
