When the game resumes, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is preparing to ban the use of saliva to shine the ball. He believes that spitting on the ball will increase the risk of infection of Kovid-19. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami said that despite the proposed ban on saliva, he can reverse swing the ball, provided the brightness of the ball is maintained.
Shami, 29, said during an Instagram chat, 'There will be difficulties. We are used to saliva since childhood. If you are a fast bowler, then you start using saliva to shine the ball on your own but yes, if you are able to keep the glow of the dry ball, it will definitely swing reverse. '
The ICC Cricket Committee, led by Anil Kumble, said that players can use sweat to shine the ball, but Shami said that it would not help the fast bowler. Shami, who specializes in reverse swing, said, 'Sweat and saliva work differently. I don't think it will help. I have never tried bowling without saliva. Now it has become very important to stop the use of saliva due to corona virus epidemic. '
Shami said that players miss the lack of Mahendra Singh Dhoni inside and outside the field. He said, 'I have played under his leadership in every format except IPL. As far as guidance is concerned, he always treats his teammates in such a way that you will not feel that it is MS Dhoni, '
