It Would Improve Standard Of Cricket: Broad Bats For Injury Replacements In Tests
New Delhi: England pacer Chris Woakes’ shoulder injury has reignited the debate around the injury replacements in Tests, with former fast bowler Stuart Broad suggesting that replacement rule would improve the quality and standard of the cricket.
On the opening day of the fifth and final Test against India at The Oval, Woakes walked off the field after he landed awkwardly on his left shoulder and stayed down clutching it while saving a ball hit to the boundary by Karun Nair at long-off.
Earlier, India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant retired hurt on the first day of the drawn fourth Test in Manchester but courageously returned to the crease the next day with a broken right foot. India were able to use Dhruv Jurel, a substitute, as their wicketkeeper in Pant's place, but he wasn't available to bat in their second innings due to ICC rules.
