The usage of artificial substances to polish the cricket ball, which effectively means ball tampering, could be considered for legalisation when the game resumes after the COVID-19 pandemic that has made bowlers wary of applying saliva on the red cherry. ‘ESPNCricinfo’ reported that administrators are “open to the option of allowing for the use of an agreed artificial substance to polish the ball under the supervision of the umpires”, which amounts to ball-tampering as per the current rules governing the sport. However, an ICC CEC member, who PTI spoke with, refused to say whether such a discussion will happen and only revealed that “saliva on the ball is something they will consider but at a later date when it looks like we will have a return to cricket.” The matter of saliva being unsafe was raised by the ICC’s medical committee and it would be addressed before cricket resumes. All sports activities have come to a halt after the coronavirus outbreak.
