Lifting Of Saliva Ban In IPL Brings Bowlers Back Into The Game: PBKS' Lockie Ferguson

Punjab Kings pacer Lockie Ferguson has given a big thumbs up to the lifting of saliva ban in the IPL, saying it will bring the bowlers "back into the game" by helping them procure reverse swing, a crucial factor in death overs. As per the amended rules in the post-Covid era, bowlers can now use saliva to shine the ball which can help it reverse even in benign conditions. The New Zealander has so far taken three wickets in the IPL with a best of 2/37 against Rajasthan Royals in Mullanpur. "From a fast bowler's point of view, bowling at the death, any assistance we can get to get the ball moving legally and make an impact with it is always greatly appreciated," Ferguson told PTI Videos.
