ICC Approves COVID-19 Substitutes, Bans Use of Saliva; Additional DRS Review in Test Cricket
The ICC on Tuesday approved COVID-19 replacements in Test cricket, banned the use of saliva to shine the ball and re-introduced non-neutral umpires for bilateral series as part of its interim playing regulations to tackle the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement has come on the day the same day the West Indies squad arrived in England for a three-Test series behind closed doors.
In the five new regulations, recommended by the Anil Kumble-chaired Cricket Committee, and ratified by the Chief Executives Committee (CEC), the teams will also be allowed an additional DRS call as home umpires will now be officiating in bilateral Test series.
Also, a 32-inch additional logo would be permitted on the players’ jerseys, which will help teams make commercial gains as Boards battle the pandemic’s financial blow.
“Teams will be allowed to replace players displaying symptoms of COVID-19 during a Test match. In line with concussion replacements, the Match Referee will approve the nearest like-for-like replacement,” the ICC stated in a press release.
“However, the regulation for COVID-19 replacements will not be applicable in ODIs and T20Is,” it added.
The CEC predictably ratified the ban on use of saliva, which is considered to be a transmitter of novel coronavirus unlike sweat which will still be allowed to shine the ball. Repeated violation of the ban would at first invite a warning before a five-run penalty is imposed.
“Players will not be permitted to use saliva to shine the ball. If a player does apply saliva to the ball, the umpires will manage the situation with some leniency during an initial period of adjustment for the players, but subsequent instances will result in the team receiving a warning,” the ICC said.
“A team can be issued up to two warnings per innings but repeated use of saliva on the ball will result in a 5-run penalty to the batting side. Whenever saliva is applied to the ball, the umpires will be instructed to clean the ball before play recommences,” the parent body stated.
The introduction of two home team umpires for bilaterals after nearly two decades is purely due to the logistical challenges of travelling given the flight restrictions in place globally.
“The requirement to appoint neutral match officials will be temporarily removed from the playing conditions for all international formats owing to the current logistical challenges with international travel.
“The ICC will be able to appoint locally based match officials from the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Officials and the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Officials,” the ICC said.
This means India’s C Shamshuddin, Anil Chaudhary and Nitin Menon will be seen officiating during the home series against England next year with Javagal Srinath being the match referee.
Due to the lack of experience of a lot of these umpires, who are not a part of the ICC Elite Panel, an additional DRS review has been allotted to the teams in each innings.
“…keeping in mind that there may be less experienced umpires on duty at times. This will increase the number of unsuccessful appeals per innings for each team to three for Tests and two for the white-ball formats.”
The ICC Cricket Operations team will also support local match referees when processing code of conduct breaches, and a neutral Elite Panel match referee will conduct any hearing remotely via video link.
The ICC also relaxed the apparel rules by allowing a logo on the chest of Test match jersey.
“A logo, not exceeding 32 square inches in size, may be placed on the chest of the Test match shirt and sweater in addition to the three other logos allowed as per regulations. As of now, logos on chests are only allowed in ODIs and T20Is.”

Denying Tendulkar 100th Ton Made Umpire Rod Tucker and I Get Death Threats: Tim Bresnan
Tim Bresnan said that he umpire Rod Tucker received death threats for wrongly depriving Sachin Tendulkar the opportunity to bring up his 100th Century
Former Indian cricket captain Sachin Tendulkar is arguably the greatest batsman to have played the sport. The Master Blaster is widely regarded as the ‘God of Cricket’. Tendulkar, who is the highest run-scorer in Tests as well as ODIs, was known for his impeccable batting technique. Sachin Tendulkar has created a plethora of records in his glorious 24-year career. One of the most coveted record that the ‘Master Blaster’ owns is scoring 100 international hundreds.
However, it wasn’t an easy ride for Tendulkar after scoring his 99th hundred during the 2011 World Cup game against South Africa. After that century, Tendulkar touched the 90-run mark only once in 2011. It seemed like Tendulkar was going to create history by scoring the 100th ton of his international career in a Test match against England. However, to everyone’s disappointment, he was trapped in front of the wicket by England all-rounder Tim Bresnan as umpire Rod Tucker adjudged him out on 91 and broke a billion hearts.
Recalling the moment, Bresnan said that he and umpire Rod Tucker received death threats for depriving Tendulkar the opportunity to bring up his 100th international ton. While speaking on the Yorkshire Cricket: Covers Off podcast, Bresnan said that Tendulkar was on 99 international hundreds and in that series, there were no referrals because the BCCI didn’t want them. It was at The Oval in the last Test of the 2011 series in England. He added that the ball was probably missing leg anyway and umpire Rod Tucker adjudged it out.
Bresnan revealed that he got death threats on Twitter and umpire Tucker had people writing to him to his home address. Bresnan also revealed that Tucker received proper death threats and many fans wrote to him that the ball was missing the leg stump. He further said that the situation arose to such an extent that Tucker had to get police protection.
Tendulkar finally ended his dry spell in the 2012 Asia Cup match against Bangladesh and reached the milestone of scoring 100 tons in international cricket. It eventually turned out to be Tendulkar’s penultimate ODI appearance as he retired from white-ball cricket later that year. Tendulkar announced his retirement from international cricket in October 2013 and played his final Test against West Indies in Mumbai a month later.
