Saliva ban risks losing contest between bat and ball: Starc

Melbourne, May 26 (UNI) Australia speedster Mitchell Starc feels cricket will lose its sheen if there is no equal competition between the bat and ball due to coronavirus-linked ban on using saliva to shine the ball.
"We don’t want to lose that or get further away from that even contest. “So there needs to be something in place to keep that ball swinging," Starc told reporters during a video interview.
“If they’re going to take away a portion of maintaining the ball, there needs to be that even contest between bat and ball, otherwise people are going to stop watching and kids aren’t going to want to be bowlers,” he said.
