Rishabh Pant's foot injury, which ruled him out of the fourth Test, has triggered the debate on the need for a provision for replacing players injured during the game on the field. The replacements might be like-for-like, considering a bowler to be replaced only by a bowler and a specialist batter by a batter.
Hence, after the entire cricket fraternity is moved by this instance, the International Cricket Council is very close to including a provision for the like-for-like substitution for players injured on the field.
“There is a chance that teams will get to bring in a replacement for serious external injuries. The matter is already under deliberation. A ratification is expected in the next ICC cricket committee meeting,” said the source.
Provision for such replacement implemented by ICC in domestic cricket
Ideally, the replacement provision has already been included by the ICC for the domestic matches; however, the international replacement rule is yet to be decided upon by the International Cricket Council. The implementation of such a rule has been highlighted after witnessing Rishabh Pant's condition at Old Trafford.
“Injury replacements should be permitted in Tests in the first innings of the game,” Vaughan was quoted as saying to the BBC.
