Yuzvendra Chahal came on as a concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja in the Canberra T20I today. ICC introduced this rule to reduce the risk for players who suffer a concussion during the game. Initially, the substitute players only had permission to field instead of the concussed player. But the new provision allows the concussion substitute to bat and bowl as well.
