Major rule change coming in IPL..!? shami requested it?

It has been revealed that the bcci is going to discuss a major rule change in the 2025 IPL series at the captains' meeting. This rule change is going to be implemented because mohammed shami requested it. mohammed shami had also given an interview during the 2025 Champions Trophy series. At that time, he had demanded that the ban on using saliva on the ball in international cricket matches be lifted. Because when you rub saliva on the ball, it gets slightly worn on one side. Then the ball will reverse swing well. The rule that prohibits the use of saliva during the Corona pandemic is destroying the very concept of reverse swing. It is in this context that mohammed shami, the king of reverse swing, made this request. While the international cricket organization has been silent on this issue, the bcci has taken a drastic decision.
If the ban on the use of saliva is lifted in the 2025 IPL series, it will also be implemented in international cricket. Because. Since the IPL is the most important cricket series in the world, pressure will be exerted through it. Therefore, the bcci is going to make an effort to remove this ban in the current IPL series. It is said that the first step will be to discuss this in the IPL captains' meeting of the ten teams to be held today. If the captains of most of the teams speak in favor of this, the bcci will try to remove this ban in the current IPL series. With the 2025 IPL season set to start on march 22, there is also a question of whether the ban can be lifted two days earlier. However, since this is a simple rule change and does not require major changes in the tournament schedule, it is said that it can be implemented within two days.
