    Why is it against the laws to use saliva on the ball but OK to use sweat?

    I'm not a cricketer but it's a covid thing. "They" ruled that sweat is highly unlikely to transmit coronavirus.

    Predominantly Covid driven but also there were concerns that players eating sugary sweets could affect the swing of the ball.

    Alastair Cook was never any use to the bowlers because he didn’t sweat !

    It's because they can't use the spunk generated when they rub the ball on their crotch.
