India's bowling coach Bharat Arun believes that it will be difficult to give up the habit of using saliva to shine the ball. But instead, it is not against the use of 'synthetic material', as long as all the teams get equal opportunity to use it. In view of the outbreak of the Kovid-19 epidemic, the Cricket Committee of the International Cricket Council (ICC) led by Anil Kumble has proposed to ban the use of saliva under health safety regulations.
Many top players and coaches believe that the use of artificial material to shine the ball should be approved to maintain balance between the ball and the bat. Arun recently told PTI, 'As far as the use of foreign matter is concerned, as long as it is the same for all teams, then why not use it.'
He said, 'It will be very difficult to quit the habit of using saliva, but we will have to try to quit this habit during training and practice sessions.' Pat Cummins, the world's top fast bowler and the most expensive foreign player of the IPL, also saliva. Because of the ban on the use of external substances.
