IND vs ENG: Ashwin out, will India play Rajkot Test with 10 players, know the rules

Ravichandran has suddenly been ruled out of the third Test being played against England in Rajkot. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has said that Ashwin had to miss the third test due to his mother's ill health. He suddenly left the team and left for home. In such a situation, the biggest question now is whether the Indian team will have to play with 10 players for the remaining three days. Let us know what the ICC's Connexion Substitute Rule says?

On the second day of the third Test being played between India and England, the English batsmen, playing baseball style, thrashed the Indian bowlers. If England's batsmen play like this on Saturday, then India's problems may increase, because Ravichandran Ashwin is also out due to a family emergency.

It is now certain that on the third day of the third Test against England, Team India will field four bowlers following Ravichandran Ashwin's resignation from the Rajkot Test. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja will be in charge of the spin attack, while Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah will handle the fast bowling attack.

The Indian team will have to play the remaining test with just ten players if Ashwin does not show up for it. This implies that Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, will not be able to play with its entire playing eleven. Captain Rohit Sharma is allowed to field a substitute in place of Ashwin by the regulations, he will not be able to bat and bowl.
