IND Vs Eng: Chris Woakes on Injury Replacements in Test – ‘You lose a player, you find a way’. Cricket news

England’s Seemar Chris Woakes, who is currently nursing on a shoulder injury, has supported his captain Ben Stokes’ stance in a debate on “replacement of injury” in Test cricket.

India’s wicketkeeper-boss Rishabh Pant hurt on the first day of the fourth Test drawn in Manchester, but returned to bat the next day, confirmed the fracture in his right leg despite the scan.India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir later advocated for the onset of injury replacement in tests – a suggestion stokes dismissed as “absolutely ridiculous”.Interestingly, in the fifth test at the Oval, England found themselves in a similar position when Volks faced a fragmented shoulder. Despite the injury, he went out to bat on the last day with England’s nine wickets and needed less than 20 runs to win.“I with Stockey, to be honest,” Woakes told The Guardian.“After being played for 18 years, the game is what you lose a player, and as a team, you have to find a way. It makes you more flexible and the team strong.”“I think people can feel necessary in cases of craze injuries like me, but there will be many gray areas and flaws.”

Vox’s serious decision to bat despite his injury has given him wide respect.“I mean, this is not the way you want to create a front page – you will be for five wickets or a century. There have been a lot of ups and downs since then, but yes, the public has helped the public,” he said.“It is very strange to start thinking of a test week, ‘one last push,’ to end at the table of a physio thinking what the future is.”
