A fielder is injured in first over of the match and is not able to continue. Who gives consent for replacement for this nominated player.
-
The Umpires
-
No Consent needed if a replacement required for injury
-
The opposing Captain
-
Both Umpires and Opposing Captain
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The opposing captain gives consent for the replacement of the injured fielder. Since the injured fielder is from the opposing team, it is the opposing captain's responsibility to allow a replacement player to take the injured player's place on the field. The umpires may also be involved in the decision-making process, but ultimately it is the opposing captain who has the authority to give consent for the replacement.
