India vs West Indies: Jermaine Blackwood comes in for Darren Bravo as concussion substitute in Jamaica Test
FirstpostJermaine Blackwood became only the second cricketer to come in as a concussion substitute when he took Darren Bravo’s place in the West Indies XI in the second Test against India at Kingston. Bravo retired hurt in the morning session of Day 4 of the final Test between West Indies and India at Sabina Park. Marnus Labuschagne became the first ever concussion substitute in international cricket after replacing Steve Smith in the second Test of the ongoing Ashes 2019. The ICC introduced the concussion substitute rule for all formats of both men’s and women’s international cricket as well as first-class cricket, in which a player can be ruled out of an ongoing match upon failing to clear the concussion test, with a member of the squad taking his spot.
