The BCCI has briefed everyone in this league that the chances of spreading Covid-19 through balls and bats is too low, In case they don’t put their saliva onto the ball. But it’s not complete here, as the sources, If cricket ball goes outside the ground or outside to the stadium, the match referee will inspect the ball and tell the officials about the condition of ball. If he suspects any kind of irregular activity, he is allowed to change the ball with the inventory. And that ball will be sanitized properly and then they will inspect it again. After that the players will allow to play with that ball.
