The new Corona virus caused chaos in sporting calendars, whether local, continental or global, after the athletes were forced to stay in their homes until further notice to limit its spread, but the effect of "Covid 19" will not disappear with the return of the wheel to spin because it will cause disposal of Three habits forever, or at least for months and years to come.


Cricket spat cricket
In the history of cricket, spitting was a loyal accompaniment of the shooter, but the days of spreading saliva on one side of the ball to help in its swinging path, which is difficult for the task of the player hitting the opposing team, will become from the past as soon as the competitions return, due to "Covid-19".

Australian player Pat Cummins acknowledged that not putting saliva on the ball would be a very difficult task for the archer, but “if we reach a stage and the anxiety still exists to this degree about the spread of infection, I am not sure that it is possible to practice sports”, meaning that the situation will be unsafe In order to return competitions.


Tennis in towels
In the event that matters improve between now and mid-July, there is a possibility for the return of players and players to yellow soccer fields, without an intuitive and automatic habit for them which is throwing towels full of sweat and even blood and perhaps some tears on the boys and girls of the malled soccer mission of replacing the towels and providing the players and players with balls .

Officials moved quickly to tackle the issue in March when the virus was on its upward trajectory, and boys and girls forced the ball to wear gloves during a Davis Cup match between Japan and Ecuador, behind closed doors, while baskets were placed next to players to deposit their towels.

In 2018, the Professional Players Association tested towel racks in some tournaments, but not everyone was happy with the experimental change, most notably the Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas, who grumbled about the matter during the final youth tournament (Next Jean Under 21) in Milan.

"I think getting the towel whenever you need it is very helpful," the Greek said at the time. You should not occupy yourself with such a thing. I think the job of the boys is to provide towels and balls for the players. ”

Do not shake hands
A basic habit in sports was abandoned even before the decision to suspend the events, a handshake that was banned in some football leagues.

Even Liverpool, whose dream of a Premier League title was suspended for the first time since 1990, abandoned its amulet to avoid being shook hands with the public, while fellow Southampton warned its players not to sign souvenirs and prevent them from taking pictures with fans to avoid any contact that might lead to the transmission of the virus.

In the NBA, players were asked to avoid traditional handshaking with open and raised hands, and to replace that with a handshake from the outside of the closed fist.

"After what is happening, I will not shake hands with anyone high (with the hand raised to the top) for the rest of my life," Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James told the podcast program "Rod Tribune".

Basketball players were also asked not to take things, such as balls or shirts, from fans in order to sign them.
