Coronavirus pandemic has led to all the cricketing activities being shut down. Literally, no cricket is being played across the world. Certain countries tried playing behind closed doors but even that attempt had a risk of players being exposed to the virus. A few of the PSL matches and the first ODI of the three-match series between Australia and New Zealand were played without any crowd in the stadium.

Moreover, even the India vs South Africa ODIs were to be played in empty stadiums before the series opener was abandoned due to rain and the BCCI postponed the contest. Since the third week of March, no cricket is being played and while the pandemic has affected almost 13.5 lakh across the globe, the possibility of resumption in the near future looks bleak.

Also, even if cricket resumes later in the year, the players and the authorities will be aware of the Coronavirus haunting them back again. Thus, a few of the cricketing habits could either be shelved forever or avoided for a certain period of time.

Here we bring you five cricketing habits that might change after resumption:

In Cricket, over the years, a wonderful tradition is being followed. Both the competing teams shake hands after the match to show respect to each other while also applauding the efforts they put during the game irrespective of the winner.

Recently, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-bashes-harsha-bhogle-for-deleting-his-nizamuddin-tweet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Harsha Bhogle</strong></a> cited the importance of imbibing its habit in the youngsters after the controversial U19 World Cup final between India and Bangladesh which saw players getting physical and abusing each other. &#8220;The one thing I would like young cricketers to imbibe is that once the contest is over, you shake hands with the opponent. It is one of the enduring aspects of our game &amp; it cannot be disrespected,&#8221; he had tweeted.

Unfortunately, the tradition might not continue after cricket resumes later this year due to the fear of the Coronavirus transmission. Even when the matches were played behind closed doors, the players had avoided shaking hands while fist bumping was preferred. Shaking hands could be shelved altogether at least for a few months depending on the situation and the affect the Coronavirus has in the upcoming months.

Fast bowlers&#8217; trusted weapon to swing the ball, using saliva could disappear now. Saliva is used to shine the one side of the ball especially in Test cricket. The fielding side and the bowlers are constantly seen shining one side of the red cherry to keep the ball swinging for a large amount of time before it gets old.

Moreover, a similar strategy is used to help the ball reverse as well after around 50-60 overs. Ahead of the ODI series between India and South Africa, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/nupur-nagar-picks-husband-bhuvneshwar-kumars-favourite-spell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Bhuvneshwar Kumar</strong></a> had also expressed the possibility of not using saliva to shine the ball during the match. However, this will take the advantage away from the bowlers in an already batsman-dominated game.

Even Pat Cummins recently doubted playing the sport if use of saliva to shine the ball is banned. &#8220;As a bowler I think it would be pretty tough going if we couldn&#8217;t shine the ball in a Test match. If it&#8217;s at that stage and we&#8217;re that worried about the spread, I&#8217;m not sure we&#8217;d be playing sport,&#8221; he had said. It will be interesting to see, if this continues when Cricket resumes.

It is often seen that the players keep spitting on the ground during the match. Rather it has become a common scene now with the matches being televised across the world. Though it isn&#8217;t considered an offence, laws could get stricter in the wake of the Coronavirus debacle after the resumption of the game.

Interestingly, the England and Wales Cricket Board (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ecb-to-lose-over-300-million-pounds-if-english-cricket-gets-cancelled-in-the-wake-of-coronavirus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>ECB)</strong></a> had warned its players to not spit on the ground in 2013 when they had altered their already strict disciplinary code. According to a report in Daily Telegraph, it was clearly told to the players that they could face disciplinary action if they spit while playing.

However, ICC is yet to deem it as an offence and things might change in the near future. With thousands of people watching the match and 22 players playing the game in the middle, spitting could turn out to be dangerous.

4. Players giving high five or hugging each other

Celebrating is an integral part of cricket. A batsman scoring 100 runs or a bowler picking up a wicket is a huge achievement for an individual and a team as well. After scoring a century, generally a batsman raises his bat to acknowledge the crowd and then his partner mostly hugs him/her to congratulate.

Also, after picking up a wicket, the players get together to congratulate the bowler while also giving a high five to their teammates. Hugging and giving a high-five to each other could stop as it leads to physical contact between the players, another cause for the transmission of the Coronavirus.

Also, when a few of the matches were played behind closed doors recently, the players had avoided over the top celebrations amongst their teammates. They had resorted fist bumping after picking up a wicket.

5. Players sitting close to each other in dug out or dressing room

&#8216;Social Distancing&#8217; has emerged as the crucial aspect during this Coronavirus. The lockdown has been imposed for the same reason in several countries in order to contain the transmission of the COVID-19. And after the cricket resumes, we could see the players maintaining the required distance while sitting besides each other.

Moreover, the dugout could be shelved altogether where the players generally sit together especially during a <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/best-xi-from-all-t20-leagues-combined/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>T20</strong></a> game. With a lot of time constraints in the trimmed format of the game, the batsmen prefer sitting in the dugout itself to go in the middle after the wicket falls.

Also, in the dressing room, the players could be instructed to sit maintaining the safe distance. Not forever but this might be followed for a few months after the cricketing action resumes later this year.

5 Cricketing habits that could change post Coronavirus pandemic

even if the cricket resumes later in the year, the players and the authorities will be aware of the Coronavirus haunting them back again
