Mohammed MohajedはULPS 2025試験の変更をバックし、「それはミダにとって良いニュースです」と言います

For the last few years, it is fair to assume that the bowlers across the world were suffering, due to the ban of use of saliva on balls. But the BCCI has revoked this rule for IPL 2025, which has been welcomed by many, and India pacer Mohammed Siraj is one of them. The star Indian bowler went on to say that now, the bowlers would look to get some reverse swing going.

“It’s very good for bowlers. It’s excellent news for us bowlers because when the ball is not doing anything, applying saliva on the ball will increase the chances of finding some reverse swing,” Siraj told PTI. “It sometimes aids reverse swing because scrubbing the ball against the shirt will not help (to get reverse swing). But using saliva on the ball will help in maintaining (the shine on one side), and it is important,” he added.

The rule was completely removed by the ICC, to stop the spread of Covid-19 virus back in 2020. Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj also opened up on sharing the bowling attack with Ishant Sharma, Gerald Coetzee and Kagiso Rabada. “It is actually a great thing because it is such an experienced line-up and will foster some healthy competition, which is good for the team. These bowlers do not require much guidance and they know their plans.

“So in that sense, it’s a blessing to have such bowlers in a competition like IPL because we have all kinds of bowlers, who have ticked all the right areas,” said Siraj. But then the 31-year-old will have to fill in the big shoes of Mohammed Shami, who had done exceptionally well for the franchise in the past.

“But my job is to take wickets for the team. I am confident about it, as I had done that in the past, I have seen Shami bhai taking wickets with the new ball at Motera and I will also try to get some wickets in the Power Play,” he noted.
