Ngidi on saliva ban: Damp towel could be an alternative
South Africa pacer Lungi Ngidi feels that bowlers will have to find news ways to overcome the ban on the usage of saliva to shine a cricket ball and one of them could be using a wet towel. READ | “Once they said there’s no saliva, a few of the batsmen posted on the group that now they are going to be driving on the up, so already we can see what type of mentality the batsmen are coming with,” Ngidi was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.com. Probably a damp towel is the best thing but you’ve got to find something somehow, to shine it,” To ensure safety in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, a high-performance South African squad of 45 players are currently practising in groups of not more than five players at their domestic franchise grounds. We don’t gather in groups anymore.” READ | Ngidi, who was named Cricket South Africa’s T20 cricketer of the year on last Saturday, also feels that the South Africa national team should seriously consider taking a stand in Black Lives Matter protests which has engulfed the world, given South Africa’s history of segregation during the apartheid era.
