IND vs Eng Test | ‘If you can’t play short balls, play tennis or golf’: Sunil Gavaskar Question ICC Constion Substitute Rule. Cricket news
New Delhi: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has strongly criticized the current convention option policy of the International Cricket Council (ICC), suggesting that it lacks continuity and fairness. Speaking during the fourth trial between India and England in Manchester, Gavaskar argued that if the option of consuration is allowed, there should also be provision for injury replacement, especially in cases such as Rishabh pants fracture legs.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

“If you are not enough to play short-picked bowling, do not play Test cricket, go and play tennis or golf. You are giving an option for someone who becomes a hit because he cannot handle it.”Pants, despite being seriously injured, returned to bat and scored a courageous fifty in India’s first innings in the first innings. However, his continuous participation in the match – and possibly series – is no longer possible.

Gavaskar questioned why an option is allowed for a head blow, but not for a clear injury.“Here, this is a clear injury. There should be an option. An independent committee, including medical experts, is formed to make these decisions,” he said.Former England captain Michael Won, who was part of the discussion, agreed with Gavaskar and called for a change of rules to protect the quality of the game.
“If a footballer breaks one leg quickly in a match, they can be replaced. Why should cricket be separated?” Von said. “Pants have a broken leg. He cannot play again in this match or next. We need a clear protocol for replacement of injury in such situations.”With the weight of high-profile voices, the debate on the replacement of injury in Test cricket is likely to be faster.
