Cricket chiefs bring in new rule after England were left raging when India exploited loophole to claim series win
International cricket chiefs have moved to ensure there will be no repeat of the controversy that marred India 's Twenty20 series win over England last winter, by amending concussion protocols. England were left fuming in Pune five months ago when, with the series on the line, India were permitted to introduce Harshit Rana — a 90-mile-per-hour fast bowler — in place of batting all-rounder Shivam Dube. Harshit went on to claim three key wickets in a 15-run victory that surged the home team into an unassailable 3-1 lead. Match referee Javagal Srinath, a former India international, permitted the 'like-for-like' replacement during England's chase despite Harshit batting in only three of his previous 25 T20 career appearances, scoring two runs, and Dube bowling just nine overs in his previous dozen T20 internationals. However, from now on concussion replacements must be settled upon in advance of the toss, removing the advantage previously held by the home team of selecting from a greater pool of players. The other significant change made by the International Cricket Council in relation to concussions is the introduction of a mandatory seven-day sit-out period for any player deemed to have been concussed. Remarkably, Dube returned to action for the fifth and final match of the series in Mumbai just 48 hours after the Pune row. Previously, ICC guidelines stopped short of enforcing a sit-out, simply advising that a 'player should usually take at least seven days out.' In a huge break with tradition, the ICC is also preparing to introduce injury substitutes for the first time at international level — after announcing a six-month trial in domestic first-class matches around the world from October. Players who suffer serious injury on the field of play at any time after the match has started (including any pre-match warm-up period) can be replaced for the remainder of the match by a like-for-like player. It is designed to stop teams becoming disadvantaged when a player is ruled out of participating further in normal capacity due to a significant impairment such as a fractured bone or torn muscle. Among the changes to the playing conditions coming in with immediate effect is a requirement for a fielder who makes airborne contact with the ball beyond the boundary to then land and remain inside the boundary. An individual that has left the field of play can make subsequent contact with the ball while still airborne but landing outside the perimeter will result in four or six being signalled and catches not being upheld, even if another player completes the fielding. This change will be implemented in international cricket before it is included in the laws of the game by the MCC next year. A stop clock in Test cricket has also been introduced, replicating its use in limited-overs internationals. The fielding team will be given a warning if not ready to begin an over within 60 seconds of the previous one being completed. Failure to do so after two warnings will result in a five-run penalty being imposed against the fielding team for every subsequent breach up to 80 overs when the tally reverts back to zero. Only one ball will be used in the last 16 overs of one-day international innings. Two new balls will be used until the end of the 34th over, at which point the fielding team will choose the ball to continue with. The wicket zone for DRS judgments will now be the actual outline of the stumps and bails, while any deliberate short runs will not only lead to a five-run penalty, but the chance for the fielding team to choose which of the two batters takes strike next delivery. On a trial basis in white-ball matches, the position of the batter's legs at the point of delivery will now be used as the reference point for a wide, even if the batter subsequently moves across to the off side, providing bowlers with greater leeway.

Kurt Busch Makes Painful Pocono Admission During Emotional Return to Tricky Triangle
Kurt Busch Makes Painful Pocono Admission During Emotional Return to Tricky Triangle originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For years, Kurt Busch viewed Pocono Raceway fondly. He won there three times in 2005, 2007 and 2016. Good memories. Advertisement Then July 23, 2022 happened. The 23XI Racing pilot got sideways during his qualifying run at The Tricky Triangle and backed the No. 45 car into the wall. The incident didn't appear to be anything extraordinary. However, as everyone later found out, the back end of the then-Next Gen car was too stiff and the drivers absorbed much of the energy during impact. Busch suffered a concussion. Kurt Busch on the flag stand as the honorary starter at Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Dedmon-Imagn Images Initially, he was supposed to be out for only a few races. Then, his return kept getting delayed. Ultimately, he didn't return for the rest of the 2022 season and never raced again in NASCAR. On Saturday, Busch appeared at Pocono during the pre-race show on Prime and was congratulated on his recent nomination into the Hall of Fame when he made a surprisingly candid admission about his trip to Pennsylvania. 'It's been fun just taking it all in and telling stories and reminiscing about some of those old races and talking about like some of the deep stuff, too,' Busch said. 'You know, it's not always peaches and cream and sunshine and rainbows, but man, it's just an honor to go in on first ballot and to take it all in. Advertisement 'I haven't been back to Pocono since my accident. So this, it's like a cleansing, purging weekend as well.' Busch's "cleansing weekend" will continue on Sunday when he watches his brother and former 23XI racing teammates compete on the 2.5-mile track. Coverage begins at 2 p.m. ET on Prime.

Orioles place catcher Maverick Handley on concussion injured list a day after collision at plate
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed catcher Maverick Handley on the seven-day concussion injured list a day after he was knocked over in a collision at the plate. The Orioles announced the move Monday ahead of their game against the Texas Rangers. Baltimore also selected the contract of catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A Norfolk and transferred infielder Ryan Mountcastle to the 60-day injured list because of a strained right hamstring. Handley was hurt in the second inning Sunday against the New York Yankees when Jazz Chisholm Jr. tried to score on DJ LeMahieu's single to left. Outfielder Colton Cowser's throw was up the third-base line and Handley moved over to field the ball. He reached for the ball just as Chisholm ran past him. Chisholm attempted to veer inside, but couldn't avoid the collision and Handley was spun by the contact. The 27-year-old Handley left the game after a discussion with interim manager Tony Mansolino and head athletic trainer Scott Barringer. Baltimore replaced Handley with former Yankees player Gary Sánchez. Handley made his major league debut on April 29. The Orioles remain without All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman, who strained his left oblique and is on the injured list for the first time in his major league career. ___ AP baseball:

Cruel blow for Titans and Queensland as State of Origin hopeful ruled out
The Gold Coast Titans were reportedly left fuming on Sunday night when Jayden Campbell was ruled to have a category 1 concussion, despite passing his head injury assessment in the dressing rooms. And it could have State of Origin ramifications for Billy Slater and Queensland. Campbell was ordered off the field in the first half of the Titans' 36-20 loss to Parramatta, after an innocuous incident in which he appeared to cop a knock from a teammate. The Titans halfback lay prone on the ground for a few seconds, which resulted in the independent doctor ruling him a category 1. The cat-1 ruling meant Campbell was automatically ruled out for the rest of the game, and will now miss Gold Coast's Round 17 clash with the Cowboys due to the 11-day stand down protocol. But the Titans reportedly felt the independent doctor acted too hastily, especially after Campbell passed his head injury assessment in the sheds. Jake Duke of Fox League reported the Titans were filthy that Campbell had been ruled out straight away, and couldn't come back into the action. Unless the Gold Coast can prove that Campbell didn't suffer a concussion - and that his initial symptoms were not indicative of concussion - and he passed all subsequent testing, he won't be playing next week either. Jayden Campbell won't return today after being ordered from the field to undergo a HIA & deemed to have shown Category 1 (clear & obvious) signs of enter NRL's protocols with associated 11 day stand down & will miss Round 17 - unless the Titans challenge the — NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) June 22, 2025 It's set to rob him of a final audition for Slater's Queensland squad for Origin 3. Slater will pick his team for the series decider at the end of Round 17, and with Campbell not playing he won't be able to press his case for an unlikely call-up. Many have suggested Campbell would be the perfect bench utility in Origin - or a valuable 18th man at the very least. Should the Maroons suffer an injury in the back-line between now and Origin 3, it's not inconceivable that Campbell would come into contention. Slater picked Kurt Mann as his bench utility in Game 2, and Ezra Mam as 18th man. But Campbell actually covers more positions than Mam, and with the Titans on the bye in Round 18 (when Origin players aren't allowed to play club footy), he might have been a more desirable selection so Mam was available for the Broncos. RELATED: Reece Walsh in concerning scenes amid State of Origin calls NRL fans all say same thing after Latrell Mitchell stunner The loss of Campbell on Sunday night proved costly for the Titans, who are now dead-last with four wins and 10 losses. They had the same record as the Eels heading into their Round 16 clash, but Parramatta have now jumped two points ahead. Titans coach Des Hasler said Tom Weaver will replace Campbell at halfback next week. "He's OK," Hasler said about Campbell. "We've got young Tommy Weaver there. Tommy will come in and fill that role, at first thought anyway, if JC (Campbell), which is more than likely, is not to play (against the Cowboys)." Campbell's absence left the goal-kicking duties to second-rower Beau Fermor, who had never kicked a goal at first-grade level before Sunday night. He managed only one from three attempts, and Hasler might be forced to make a change in that department against the Cowboys. with AAP
