Mohammed Shami has taken 8 wickets in the Champions Trophy.
Former New Zealand bowler team Saudi and former South African all -rounder Vernon Philander have supported Shami’s demand to remove the ban from the use of saliva on the ball.
Shami had requested the ICC to remove the ban on the use of saliva on the ball after Team India’s 4 -wicket win from Australia in the first semi -final of the Champions Trophy.
Revere to use salivary to bring back reverse swing Shami had said that we are trying to get reverse swing, but the use of saliva on the ball is not allowed. We keep appealing that we should be allowed to use saliva, so that we can bring back reverse swing in the game and it becomes interesting.
Team Saudi said- Due to Corona, there was a ban of saliva on the ball, now it should be removed Supporting Shami’s statement, Team Saudi said in a conversation with the cricket website Cric Info that the rule was brought due to Kovid, when the virus was spreading around the world, but now it should risk removal.
He further said, ‘I think as a bowler, you want to take a little advantage. We are watching the game moving forward. It is to be seen that the teams score 362 runs and often score more than 300 runs in this format. I think there should be something in favor of the bowlers. ‘
Tim Southee has taken 391 wickets in 107 Tests.
Philander said- Reverse swing could be used for South Africa against New Zealand in another semifine At the same time, Philander said that in the second semi -finals played against South Africa, South African bowlers could have advantage the use of saliva and using reverse swing. He said, ‘If you look at the ball, it was worn out. In such a situation, I think that if saliva was used to brighten the ball on one side, it could have been useful for reverse swing and certainly the African bowlers would have benefited and the score would have been something else. ‘ In the second semi -final of the Champions Trophy in Lahore, Pakistan, New Zealand scored 362 runs at the loss of 6 wickets, batting first. At the same time, South Africa also scored 312 runs losing 9 wickets in 50 overs.
Vernon Philander has taken 224 wickets with 1779 runs in 64 Tests.
