Pundits have been debating the way forward with coronavirus pandemic posing a threat to the idea of using sweat and saliva to shine the ball to help it swing.
The coronavirus pandemic has not just forced a suspension of all sporting events across the globe, it has also raised question marks on the future and whether the ICC should look at other options to help the bowlers keep the shine on the ball rather than using saliva or sweat.
Holding believes there is 'no logic' behind the reported move as players will anyway be playing the game in a safe environment and use of saliva on the ball shouldn't be an issue.
The International Cricket Council (ICC), during its recent CEC meeting, considered the use of artificial substances on the ball instead of saliva.
Ashish Nehra and Harbhajan Singh have both said that not allowing the bowlers to use saliva would take 'swing out of the equation'.
According to a report, it is possible that the ICC may allow for the use of an artificial substance on the ball, as the use of saliva to shine the ball is no longer an option.
Flintoff believes the whole team must have been part of the incident one way or the other.
According to Ponting, the road leading Australia to the Newlands scandal had started years before when he became fearful of a decline in the level of senior experience around the national team.
Pooran admitted the offence on Tuesday and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.
