Mumbai Indians bowling coach Zaheer Khan is not too bothered that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cricketers will adopt a new routine as he believe they had already developed a habit to settle in this lockdown period.
This new routine includes isolation, bio-safe training camps, santisation, regular temperature monitoring and complete ban on the use of saliva on the ball during the training session which is the most difficult part.
The former Indian fast bowler on the start of the Indian Premier League said, “I wouldn’t say it will be so difficult, it’s just a matter of getting accustomed to the new routine. The preparation of this new routine will change the things accordingly and you have to follow it. It is nice to come back and go to the ground again.”
Zaheer Khan said, “The most important part is we have to be careful that we do not use the saliva on the ball as it is the old habit for any bowlers. But we will have to take care of this.”
