Mysore/Mysuru: City’s Gautham Sagar, an all-rounder who has played in Karnataka Premier League (KPL) and is a BBA student of Sapient College in Mysuru, speaking to ‘SOM’ yesterday, said: “As far as I know, to shine the ball, sweat is the only alternative we have for saliva. We have to adapt to this new decision and play. It will definitely take time as applying saliva has come as a habit to shine the ball till now.”
Talking about cricketing activities, the aspiring cricketer said: “We do not have gym. Otherwise, we make sure we practice for a short duration whenever possible. Local cricket has not been affected much. By now, Bengaluru matches were supposed to start but now Mysuru league matches are still pending. Still three tournaments of this season are yet to complete.”
