As in September, 2022 International Cricket Council (ICC) release emergency provisions for the Covid-19 saliva to be banned permanently.<\/p>\n
An old video goes viral where RCB\u200b\u2019s former captain got away without being hit with an IPL game penalty earlier because he would have been caught in a different fortnight back; Virat Kohli experienced playing a few hoops around some saliva conditioned ball. Given the IPL season earlier this year during Kohli\u2019s six-year-long tenure as RCB captain, this old video of him has resurfaced online and become the center of attention for fans, enthusiasts or critical voices.<\/p>\n
Players have trusted in their own saliva plus sweat to shine one side of a cricket ball, thereby helping it swing aerially. The ICC has also implemented a range of other instant changes to games that you should note:<\/p>\n
Raising the Batters\u2019 Watch: For Test matches as well as One-Day Internationals, the batters have to be ready to take strike within two minutes.<\/p>\n
Obligation on the striker to play: The striker has to make sure that some portion of his bat or body sticks inside the pitch.<\/p>\n
Penalty for fielding: If the team fielding fails to complete its overs inside the time limit, it has to put another fielder onto the ring for remaining overs. If the ICC\u2019s proposed changes go through, however, India\u2019s striking pair will have to forget their flick-shot-based game altogether and concentrate instead on running hard between wickets.<\/p>\n
