The news is that star spin bowler R Ashwin is out in the middle of the third test match and he will not be able to be a part of the team in the remaining three days of play.
Big blow for Team India
This is a big shock for the team. The remaining three days of the game in Rajkot will be very heavy for Team India without Ashwin. As soon as R Ashwin was out, questions started being raised everywhere from social media as to what plan Rohit Sharma would come up with. Which bowler will handle the spin unit of Team India? Can Ashwin be replaced? In such a situation, let us tell you how Ashwin can be replaced and how any other player can play in his place.
How can Ashwin be replaced?
It is often seen in cricket when a player is out in the middle of a test match, but what is done if this happens? In fact, many times players are out of the test match midway due to injury or personal reasons. In such a situation, a team can demand replacement of that player only when the captain of the opposing team gives permission to do so. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma wants to replace Ashwin, then he will have to take permission from Ben Stokes.
As per MCC rule number 1.2.2, no player can be replaced after nomination without the consent of the opposing captain. If the captain of the English team agrees to do so, any other player can play in his place. Otherwise only Ashwin’s fielder substitute can play in the field. That player will neither be able to bowl nor bowl. He will have to contribute only in fielding.
