The Australian manufacturer Kookaburra also noted that the safety of players are their first priority and hence the manufacturer has been developing a wax applicator as an alternate to saliva.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">We have to have another option of Saliva Ban<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Cummins accepted the health reason and said it should not be risked at any level but maintained that an artificial substance should be allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If we remove saliva, we have to have another option,&#8221; he told <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">cricket.com.au<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sweat&#8217;s not bad, but I think we need something more than that, ideally.

He brought the weather prospect in and questioned what bowlers would do in a comparatively cold day when it be a bit difficult to produce sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Your slip cordon is normally the ones shining the ball and they&#8217;re not huge sweaters standing there all day. It&#8217;ll be interesting, it&#8217;ll be an adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the quick bowling star hoped that we will reach the day when saliva would be considered safe again.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Hopefully we&#8217;ll get to a stage where saliva is deemed safe.
