In a recent interview, former Indian player Ajit Agarkar has expressed his view on the use of saliva – “It is very important to shine the ball. My only contention is that players who will play, eventually be tested before the game starts. If they are found COVID-19 negative then I can at least consider that it will be safe to put saliva on the ball, This is my opinion and probably someone from the medical field can give us a broader view on the subject” – Agarkar Said.
