Controversy erupted in the fourth game of the five-match T20I series when India brought Rana as a concussion sub for Dube, who copped a blow to his helmet on the second-last ball of the penultimate over of their inning.<\/p>\n
After a check-up, the Indian physio allowed Dube to play the final ball and was run out after scoring 53 runs from 34 balls.<\/p>\n
He, however, did not take to the field in England\u2019s innings due to the concussion and Rana took the field in his place. Rana went on to take three key wickets, contributing to India\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n
England captain raised questions over the decision to allow India to bring the pacer as a concussion sub for a batting all-rounder.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a like-for-like replacement. We don\u2019t agree with that,\u201d Jos Buttler said after the match. \u201cEither Shivam Dube has put on about 25mph with the ball or Harshit [Rana] has really improved his batting.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s part of the game and we really should have gone on to win the match, but we disagree with the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
As per the ICC\u2019s playing conditions for men\u2019s T20Is, \u201cThe ICC Match Referee should ordinarily approve a Concussion Replacement Request if the replacement is a like-for-like player whose inclusion will not excessively advantage his\/her team for the remainder of the match.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn assessing whether the nominated Concussion Replacement should be considered a like-for-like player, the ICC Match Referee should consider the likely role the concussed player would have played during the remainder of the match, and the normal role that would be performed by the nominated Concussion Replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jos Buttler also lamented that the match officials did not consult with him before the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no consultation [with us]. That\u2019s something I was thinking as I came out to bat \u2013 who is Harshit on for? They said he is a concussion replacement, which I obviously disagreed with,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a like-for-like replacement. They said that the match referee had made the decision. We had no say in it or any part of it. But we\u2019ll ask Javagal [Srinath] some questions just to get some clarity around it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
