Ravindra Jadeja’s Concussion Substitution Draws Questions From Ex-Cricketers | Cricket News

Ravindra Jadeja was replaced by Yuzvendra Chahal because the concussion substitute within the first Twenty20 International (T20I) between Australia and India in Canberra on Friday. Australia head coach Justin Langer, clearly sad with the choice, was seen having an animated dialogue with the match referee David Boon throughout the mid-innings break. Former England captain Michael Vaughan took to Twitter to share his views on the entire incident and was shocked that no physician or physio got here out to evaluate Jadeja’s situation, when he was injured by a prime edge into his helmet within the last over of the innings bowled by Mitchell Starc. “No Doctor or Physio came out to Test Jadeja for concussion … he then looks like his has done something to his leg … then they pull the concussion replacement .. !!!!! #RatSniffed #OnOn #AUSvIND,” Vaughan tweeted. 

No Doctor or Physio got here out to Test Jadeja for concussion … he then appears like his has finished one thing to his leg … then they pull the concussion alternative .. !!!!! #RatSniffed #OnOn #AUSvIND

On the opposite hand, former Australia cricketer Tom Moody wrote on Twitter that he had no points with Chahal changing Jadeja however he did increase a question about whether or not the protocols for a concussion substitute have been adopted or not.

“I have no issue with Jadeja being substitute with Chahal. But I do have an issue with a Doctor & Physio not being present after Jadeja was struck on the helmet which I believe is protocol now? #AusvInd,” Moody tweeted.

I’ve no problem with Jadeja being substitute with Chahal. But I do have a problem with a Doctor & Physio not being current after Jadeja was struck on the helmet which I imagine is protocol now? #AusvInd
