Brett Lee bats for use of artificial substance to shine balls

Brett Lee reckons Australia’s pace trio would hold the key during the year-end home Test series against India and is keen to figure out how much the Kookaburra ball swings without saliva Down Under. With the ban on saliva due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the former Australia speedster wants the custodians of the game to come up with an “artificial substance” to maintain the balance between bat and ball. “It will definitely change the way the game is played so we don’t want to make it even harder for bowlers even more than it is currently is,” said the 43-year-old Lee. “Maybe they need to come up with some artificial substance that they can use,” Lee who has picked 310 Test wickets, said.
