BCCI suddenly introduces a new massive rule; IPL captains still unaware of

The Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) is expected to make an important decision before the start of the long -awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Above all, the BCCI plans to lift the prohibition to apply saliva to the ball before the IPL 2025 season, which is expected to begin on March 22.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) banned the use of saliva on the ball during Covid-19 pandemic, but allowed players to use sweat. However, many cricketers said that sweat does not keep the ball’s shine or help the inverse balance. The practice of using saliva was crucial for quick bowls.

BCCI leaves a decision about lifting saliva ban on IPL captains

The IPL had adopted the CPI’s saliva ban during Covid-19 pandemic, but the BCCI is now planning to reverse the decision. According to a PTI report, BCCI’s maximum official stated that the IPL does not fall under the jurisdiction of the CPI and that the banning of the ban would be no problem.

The official said that the saliva has a greater impact on the red ball cricket, but he believes that it could still help the T20 bowls. The proposal has been discussed internally and the captains of all IPL teams will give their contribution during a meeting in Mumbai on March 20.

“Use saliva on the ball was part of the essence of the game until Covid Hit. Now that we no longer have this threat, we believe that there is no harm in lifting a ban on saliva in the IPL,” said BCCI’s maximum official in an interview.

“We understand that it has a greater impact on the red ball cricket, but even if you can help the bowls in the white ball game, it should be allowed to the IPL, which is a trend tournament. Let’s see what the captains decide tomorrow.”
