Because you can send someone out with a damaged muscle to bat if absolutely needed, you can also send out someone with a concussion but it carries inherent risk...the concussion sub rules are to stop teams from flirting with that line of players that "pass the test" but really aren't fine
Plenty of players have been unable to bat due to injury before, for injuries other than concussion

They have protocols in place & doctors at every game, it's different than it used to be. If a player gets diagnosed with concussion or they think a player has it he won get sent back out.

One of the reasons I don't like the replacement rule is I think it's more likely to get exploited the other way, teams rule out a player to get a fresh one or a strategic advantage by swapping.

pretty certain sub fielders can't keep.
Think they can in games where the umpire and opposition captain let them.

And sending someone out with a damaged muscle doesn't bring inherent risk? Especially if they can barely move?
 
In context of the player is incapacitated and unable to play the game you philistine.
Thanks Doctor Knowall. Anyway, just about every team sport in the world allows for an immediate replacement/interchange of an injured player, except cricket of course.

But they have interchanges available to use for other reasons other than injury. Cricket does not. Logic, use it.

A busted hammy is hardly going to kill you, concurrent concussions might

It's to remove the temptation, fines happen across all codes because players get sent out with improper concussion protocol

If they can have a concussion sub it changes this way of thinking completely and teams won't take the risk


Why do you think it was instilled in the matador cup?

Its not up to the teams. It's up to the doctors.

A doctor is not going to risk his lucrative salary to win a cricket match.

Concussed players will not get sent out to bat anymore. There is no need to have a rule for it. Especially a rule that can be easily taken advantage of

Cricket never has historically.

Interchange bench for cricket is an interesting one. They had the Super Sub for the domestic one dayers a while ago but it disappeared.

Oh god that was the worst ever rule in cricket. I remember the ING Cup final at AO between SA and NSW when we were struggling, they subbed out a bowler for Ken Skewes who made 6 off of 28.

But they are there for injury too. Never been to or watched a game of footy, rugby, soccer, basketball, netball, hockey, ice hockey, gridiron, volleyball, sepak takraw, hurling or kabaddi in your life? They all have injury interchange. You obviously weren't in the school debating team, because ur not very good at it.
