"No Consultation": Jos Buttler Blasts Harshit Rana Coming In As Concussion Substitute For Shivam Dube vs England

Pacer Harshit Rana replaced all-rounder Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute during India's fourth T20I against England on Friday.

When it came to Tests in India, it wasn't even possible for the selectors and the team management to look for a name other than Saha because of his exceptional keeping skills.
