Speaking about changes in the rules due to COVID-19, former chief selector MSK Prasad said on Star Sports’ Telugu show Cricket Connected – Field Gurunchi, “Rules of the game state that external sources cannot be used to shine the ball as it will amount to ball tampering. So, players were used to using their own sweat, and in most cases, saliva to shine the ball to get it done. But in the current scenario, they should be banned from using this technique and ICC should come up with an alternative route.”
Speaking about the evolution of the ODI format, former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth said on Star Sports’ Tamil show, Cricket Connected-Aatam Thodarattum, “When the competition between bat & ball is good, you’ll always have contests in whichever format – the 2019 Cricket World Cup was an example. In our days, boundaries used to be 80-90 meters, now it’s not more than 70-75 meters making life easier for the batsmen.”
