The International Cricket Council (ICC) introduced a new rule after the COVID outbreak that prohibits using saliva to polish the ball. So, bowlers and fielders are searching for replacements to shine the ball with some of them coming up with innovative and bizarre ideas to achieve it.
However, the most hilarious method was opted for by England’s Joe Root during the first Test against Pakistan at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. While Pakistan was batting in the second innings, Root was spotted rubbing the ball on the head of his teammate Jack Leach who is partially bald.
