England Legend Slams Concussion Substitution, Says Shivam Dube Should've Been Replaced By...

Former England captain Alastair Cook has questioned the match referee's decision, during the 4th T20I between India and England, to allow Harshit Rana to replace Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute. According to ICC Guidelines, ‘The ICC match referee should ordinarily approve a concussion replacement request, if the player is a like-for-like player.' Rana's introduction proved to be a turning point, as he scalped three wickets for 33 runs, rattling England's middle and lower order just when the visitors seemed to be building momentum in their chase of 182.

India pacer Harshit Rana replacing Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute in the 4th T20I against England raised a few eyebrows, with experts suggesting that it was not a like-for-like replacement. Dube, a part-time medium seam bowler, scored a half-century in the first innings, was struck on the head by Jamie Overton off the penultimate delivery of India's innings. India then effectively used the concussion protocol to field Harshit in place of Dube, who bowls at speeds in the early 120 km/h range.
