MUMBAI, (Reuters) – A recommendation banning the use of saliva to shine a cricket ball when the sport resumes after the novel coronavirus shutdown is only a temporary measure, Anil Kumble, the chairman of the International Cricket Council’s Cricket Committee, has said.
Cricketers have used the age-old method of shining one side of the ball with a combination of saliva and sweat to help bowlers generate more movement in the air as it travels towards the batsman.
However, as part of efforts aimed at minimizing the risk of spreading the virus, the governing body’s cricket committee has recommended the ban on using spit.
“We have been very critical and we have been very focused on eliminating any external substances coming into the game,” former India leg-spinner Kumble said on Star Sports’ Cricket Connected.
Australia quick Pat Cummins has said cricket’s lawmakers should approve the use of an artificial substance to shine the ball if the ban on saliva was enacted, while compatriot Josh Hazlewood has said it would difficult to police such a ban.
Adjourned to September 15th, the trial of ousted Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir over the Islamist-backed coup that enabled him to take power 1989 — which he then maintained for 30 years.
The presiding judge made the declaration on Tuesday following procedural questions and inquiries about covid-19 prevention measures in the courtroom during the session broadcast on Sudan TV. Bashir and other figures from his regime were shown standing behind bars in the courtroom amidst tight security.
Tag al-Din Banaga, a defence lawyer for the National Congress Party, shared some information, \"There is another request that we are insisting on and is related to the establishment of the court itself: the constitutional document that is governing the ruling during the transitional period states that ‘There are no special courts’ and he is now being tried in a special court with all the procedures of the special court, and this for us is a violation of the constitutional document.\"
Bashir — who is facing the death penalty, could also stand trial before the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity as per the request of new authorities in February
The trial comes as Sudan's joint civilian-military transitional government is pushing a wave of political and social reforms and on Monday agreed on a peace deal with most rebel groups.
Omar al-Bashir was indicted by the ICC over the Darfur conflict that erupted in 2003 when rebels from the ethnic minority began a violent uprising — accusing Khartoum of political and economic marginalisation of their region.
The United Nations estimates around 300,000 people were killed and 2.5 million displaced as a result of the conflict.

With the imminent collapse of Rwanda's Juvenal Habyarimana regime, Felicien Kabuga, a key genocide suspect arrested in France on May 16, escaped and received sanctuary in several countries.
After pressure from the international community to hand him over to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, his stay in Kenya became untenable and he fled to other countries, eventually ending up in France.
Instead of showing regret over its friendly relations with the genocidal regime by doing whatever it could to bring genocide suspects to book, France undertook a diversionary tactic.
Africa, more than anyone else, should take crimes of genocide very seriously because almost every country--from Kenya to Nigeria to the Central African Republic--has experienced ethnic slaughter or has potential for it.
Kabuga's arrest and trial should remind us of that apocalyptic event in Rwanda in 1994 and make us more supportive of the Rome Statute and other international legal instruments meant to end these truly hellish crimes.
