BCCI has implemented the rule for replacing serious injuries! Rishabh Pant's injury led to a change in rules, these two major rules have changed
Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh pant recently sustained a serious leg injury during the Manchester test match against England. Pant then wanted to reverse the reverse whip of Chris Woakes’ ball, but he missed and completely injured. Pant was unable to do wicketkeeper in that match due to an injury. He also had to be out of the oval test match. Rishabh pant will now be out of the Asia Cup 2025. Then during the oval test match, English fast bowler Chris Woakes also sustained an injury to the left shoulder. After the injury of Pant and Vox, there were many debates about the current substitute rules of the ICC. Let me tell you that if a player is injured, the player who comes in his place is not eligible to bat or bowl. The conference subsidy is only allowed if the players are injured in the head or eye. The conference subsidy is eligible for batting or bowling. Rishabh Pant and Chris Woakes did not get hurt in the head or eye, so their substrates may not bat or bowl. Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir believed that if a player was seriously injured during the match, there should be an option for him. Gambhir and Stokes face to face Gautam Gambhir said at the press conference after the Manchester Test match against England was over, “if the injury is clear and the player is not suitable at all, it must be replaced by the referee and referee of the match.” This rule is very important so that the game is not 10 versus 11 versus 11 versus 11. Ben Stokes said after the Manchester test match: ‘You choose 11 players, the injury is part of the game. If this happens, the teams will try to benefit in many ways. Replacing the event is good, but the replacement of the injuries should not be at all. After the injury of Rishabh Pant, the Council of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made major changes in sports conditions for the upcoming domestic season (2025-26). Now in matches of multi-day cricket (Ranji trophy and CK Naidu trophy), if a player sustains a serious injury during the match, his replacement will be able to bat or bowl. This rule of replacing serious injuries is somewhat similar to the rules for the substitute. What is a serious rule for replacing a serious injury? If a player has to leave the match due to rupture, deep or any external injury during the match, the team manager could get a serious permission for replacing the BCCI match for the BCCI match. However, the new player must be the same. For example, if a bowler is injured, the bowler will replace him. The replacement player will only be allowed if the referee and the referee consider it a serious injury. If there is no other wicketkeeper in the option list, the referee may allow a player other than a wicketkeeper. The injured player and the player who got into place will both be considered in the match and their data will be recorded. Let us tell you that the BCCI is not currently implementing this rule in white ball cricket (Vijay Hazare trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy). Whether it will be implemented in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 or not, it has not yet been decided. ♦ BCCI has also changed the rules associated with short runs into domestic cricket. If the batsmen show that they have completed the run, but in reality no one of them deliberately reaches them, it will deliberately be considered a short term. In such a situation, the referee counts just as many runs as the batsmen completed correctly. And if the run stays incomplete, the run is not added. But in such a situation, the referee will now ask the captain of the opposing team what the batsman will take a strike on the next ball. ♦ If a batsman now retires without any injury or any specific reason, he will be retired as a retired as and he will not be able to bat again.
