Replacements will be trialled in domestic first-class cricket for players who suffer a “serious injury” during a game.

A player can be replaced by a “like-for-like” replacement any time during a match, which includes the warm-up period.

The six-month trial by full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) will start in October.

ICC playing conditions for Tests do not allow full substitutes.
