Homemaker Starc wants to shine in post-pandemic cricket

Associated Press  

BRISBANE, Australia — Mitch Starc hasn’t picked up a cricket bat or ball in two months, and isn’t exactly salivating at the prospect of his new work conditions. But it’s been really nice to have eight or nice weeks at home doing the little things — a bit of house work, cooking together, having that normality in your life that doesn’t come with international cricket schedules.” Healy, the niece of former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy, was part of the Australian team that beat India in the final of the Twenty20 Women’s World Cup in front of more than 86,000 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March. It’s time for Starc to start thinking harder about how he’s going to take wickets under proposed new playing conditions that will prohibit the use of saliva to shine the ball. He said lawmakers should consider either instructing curators to leave extra grass on the wickets or allowing the use of an artificial substance to shine the ball in the specific COVID-19 “window of time.” Artificial substances are outlawed now, but cricket ball manufacturer Kookaburra is developing a wax that could be used to shine the ball instead of saliva.
