Could develop our bowlers in a 4 or 5-week period: Joe Root on saliva ban

By Saurabh Sharma May 24, 2020 • 13:39 PM View: 908

London, May 24: England Test skipper Joe Root believes not being able to apply saliva on the ball could end up improving skill levels of the bowlers. The International Cricket Council's (ICC) Cricket Committee chaired by Anil Kumble had earlier recommended banning the usage of saliva to polish the match ball in the wake of coronavirus pandemic.

Root stated that bowlers will start adding different skills in their armoury to get the better of the batsmen. This will in turn help in improving the bowlers which will ultimately be good for the game.
