Joe Root uses Leach’s head to shine the ball during Rawalpindi Test Match.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has permanently imposed a ban on the use of saliva for shining the red ball in order to restrict the on-field spread of COVID-19, ambitious bowlers have found innovative ways to polish the ball so what if it involves another player’s sweaty bald head.

This ban had taken the ‘shine’ off the Test ball, but then English batter Joe Root had an epiphany and found a unique way to shine the ball with the help of sweat on his teammate’s shaven head to maximize the effect. 

During the third day of the Test match against Pakistan at Rawalpindi cricket stadium, English Batter Joe Root took the ball and polished it on spinner Jack Leach’s head. The video of that moment went viral on social media. 

"Absolutely ingenious!"

Before being made permanent in October 2022, this prohibition had been in place for over two years in international cricket as a temporary anti-COVID measure.

COVID-19 had enforced the rule to avoid transmission of the virus on the field. The law came into play when cricket resumed after a break in July 2020. During the saliva ban, the players resorted to the use of sweat to shine the ball, which has proven to be effective.

Commentator David Gower also clarified the use of sweat after the incident on the field.

“It is ingenious, absolutely ingenious because you are no longer allowed to use saliva. Tests have apparently proven that sweat is much more effective in shining the ball as compared to saliva,” said Gower.

Remember that Pakistan openers Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq both completed centuries against England Saturday as a flat Rawalpindi Stadium pitch continued to yield runs on the third day of the first Test.

Pakistan started day three on 181 without loss in reply to England’s mammoth 657, needing 458 to avoid the follow-on. Shafique, 89 overnight, was the first to three figures with a six and a sharp single off Joe Root, while Haq, who started the session on 90, followed with a boundary off the same bowler.

They both now have three Test centuries and successive hundreds at the venue, having also reached three figures against Australia in March this year. Imam-ul-Haq scored a ton in both innings against Australia, while Abdullah Shafique scored a century in the second.

Now On the fourth day, the England team takes over Pakistani batters by sending back the team Pakistan to Pavilion just on 579 runs. Now latest updates are that the England team scores 264 runs for 7 and declares the match by setting the target of 330 runs for Pakistan in order to win the match.
