Coronavirus: Shining the ball with saliva a concern, says Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Dharamsala, March 11: As the coronavirus scare worsens in the country, Team India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said that the team might be forced not to use saliva to shine the ball in the three-match ODI series against South Africa. The fast bowler said that it could be one of the precautionary measures against the deadly disease which is increasing its footprint across the globe with over 55 confirmed cases of coronavirus being reported so far in the country.
"We have thought about this thing (not using saliva) but I can't say right now we will not use saliva because if we don't use saliva then how will we shine the ball? Then we will get hit and you people will say you are not bowling well," Bhuvneshwar, who is making a comeback, said on the eve of the first ODI on Wednesday.
