India, March 30 -- By Vivek Prabhakar Singh

Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 30 (ANI): Indian pace veteran Umesh Yadav on Sunday spoke on revocation of the saliva ban in the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that it will help bowlers in white-ball cricket when the ball is new.

Umesh was at an AstroLawn event in Greater Noida.

Speaking about the saliva ban, Umesh said, "I think it might make a difference in white-ball cricket. But I think it depends on the situation, because there are night matches, the ball gets wet due to dew, so saliva does not matter at that time. When the ball is new, saliva is an important thing... So I think it is a very good thing that it has come back. It would help the fast bowlers a lot."
