A possible solution to check ball tampering

Will instances of ball tampering reduce if the bowler alone is allowed to shine the ball? “We don’t have cameras in the league so the best way for an umpire to have a close look at the ball when it is not in play is when it is with the bowler.” Once the ball travelled to the ’keeper, or was struck to different parts of the ground, it would be quickly relayed to the bowler, who would then shine the ball. It is through these ‘stages’ that teams hatching a conspiracy to alter the surface of the ball — there are ‘designated’ cricketers in specific positions — get much of the tampering done. Former India swing bowler, Balwinder Sandhu told this publication, “This can bring down instances of tampering, but will also make the bowler tired.
