BCCI To Introduce ‘Serious Injury Replacement’ Rule For 2025/26 Domestic Season
The Serious Injury Replacement Request: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced a ‘Serious Injury Replacement’ clause in the playing conditions for multi-day games in the upcoming 2025/26 domestic season. The rule will allow for like-for-like replacements for players ruled out of a match due to a serious injury.
The need for such a rule by the BCCI comes after some related happenings in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant fractured his right foot during the fourth Test in Manchester but still came out to bat in the first innings.
In the fifth Test at The Oval, England’s seam-bowling all-rounder Chris Woakes batted with his left arm in a sling after dislocating his shoulder while fielding on the opening day. As per a report in Cricbuzz, the match referee will be the final authority on the replacement rule after consulting a doctor on the extent and seriousness of the on-field injury.
