‘It Seems Like Madness’ That Harshit Rana Replaced Shivam Dube During 4th T20I, Says Cook
Either Shivam Dube: 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.
“It had such a big impact on the game. Replacing a big-hitting batting all-rounder, who has bowled one over in the [2024] IPL, with a bowler who can't bat and bowls heavy seam, makes no sense to me whatsoever.
