England captain Jose Butler angry with India’s Convention Substitute

What happened in the match on Friday
In the fourth match played between India and England in Pune, there was a ruckus about the Convention Substitute. During the batting of Shivam Dubey, Jamie overson’s high speed was on the ball helmet in the last over. Although even after this, Shivam batted but it came to bowling, then India replaced Harshit Rana as a conversion substitute. This replacement became the real reason for the controversy.

What was the dispute over
In place of Shivam Dubey, India replaced Harshit Rana as a convention subsidy. According to the ICC rule, if a player suffers head injury during the match, then another player of the same capacity can come to play his/her place. Harshit Rana bowls at a speed of 150 while Shivam Dubey has a speed of 125-130 km per hour. Harshit Rana is a fast bowler while Shivam Dubey all -rounder. The England captain raised questions about this. he/she clearly stated that this replacement was not done according to the ICC rule.
