Shivam Dube returns after concussion, Out-of-form Samson to remain in lineup: India’s likely XI vs England for 5th T20I
After securing a series-clinching victory on Friday, India take on England in the fifth T20I on Sunday, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The fourth T20I also saw controversy as Harshit Rana was allowed to be Shivam Dube’s concussion substitute and removed Liam Livingstone off his second delivery. Dube has cleared the concussion protocol tests and is allowed to be included in the playing XI. Members from the England camp feel that Rana coming in for Dube wasn’t a like-for-like substitution and was unfair.

Meanwhile, Saquib Mahmood struck thrice for the visitors and Jamie Overton took two wickets. Chasing 182 runs, England were bowled out for 166 in 19.4 overs, despite a half-century from Harry Brook (51). Meanwhile for India’s bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi and Rana bagged three dismissals each respectively.
In the fifth T20I, Sanju Samson is once again expected to open with Abhishek Sharma. Samson is in poor batting form and could only muster one run off three balls in the previous fixture. Unlike his opening partner, Abhishek has been in good form and is the highest run-scorer in the ongoing series, with 144 runs at a strike rate of 197.26, and has also clobbered 17 fours and nine sixes.
In the fourth fixture, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav were dismissed for ducks. Tilak departed in the first ball and skipper Suryakumar faced only four deliveries. They are expected to keep their place, and will bat at no. 3 and no. 4 in the order.
Rinku Singh got a gritty 26-ball 30-run knock in the previous fixture, and also hammered four fours and a maximum. He is expected to retain his place and will bat at no. 5, followed by Dube and Pandya, who were crucial in the previous fixture. Dube was also adjudged as Player of the Match for his quickfire half-century (53 off 34 deliveries).
Axar Patel will be the last batting all-rounder in the batting order, coming after Hardik. He was dismissed for five runs off four balls. Meanwhile, the tailenders will consist of Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy.
India’s likely XI vs England-
Openers: Sanju Samson (WK), Abhishek Sharma
Middle order: Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube
All-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy
After missing the last few matches due to a concussion, all-rounder Shivam Dube is set to make his return to the Indian lineup for the fifth T20I against England. Dube’s presence will provide a much-needed boost to the team, especially in the absence of Hardik Pandya who is still recovering from a shoulder injury.On the other hand, wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who has been struggling for form in the series so far, is likely to retain his place in the playing XI. Despite not making significant contributions with the bat, the team management seems to have faith in Samson’s abilities and will give him another opportunity to prove himself.
Here is India’s likely XI for the fifth T20I against England:
1. Rohit Sharma
2. KL Rahul (wk)
3. Virat Kohli (c)
4. Suryakumar Yadav
5. Rishabh Pant
6. Hardik Pandya
7. Shivam Dube
8. Washington Sundar
9. Shardul Thakur
10. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
11. Yuzvendra ChahalWith the series currently tied at 2-2, both teams will be looking to put their best foot forward in the final match to clinch the series. It will be interesting to see how the inclusion of Shivam Dube and the persistence with Sanju Samson will impact India’s performance in the crucial encounter.

Ind vs Eng – ‘It is not a like-for-like replacement’ – Buttler after India sub in Rana for Dube
There was scrutiny around India’s move to bring on Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube during the fourth T20I against England, with England captain Jos Buttler saying after the match that this did not fit the definition of a like-for-like replacement. The television commentators who were on air at the time of the substitution – Kevin Pietersen and Nick Knight – had also questioned the swap. Dube did not take the field in the chase, after taking two blows on the helmet on his way to 53 off 34 balls.“It is not a like-for-like replacement. We don’t agree with that,” Buttler said after India completed a 15-run win. “Either Shivam Dube has put on about 25 mph with the ball or Harshit’s really improved his batting. It’s part of the game and we really should have gone on to win the match, but we disagree with the decision.”
Dube scored his half-century after walking in at 57 for 4 and stitched together a 87-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Hardik Pandya that allowed India to post 181 for 9. During his innings, Dube was twice hit on the helmet by a bouncer – first in the ninth over when he missed a pull off a Jofra Archer delivery that was measured at 146.8kph, and then on the penultimate ball of the innings off Jamie Overton’s 141.5kph bumper. It is not unusual for concussion symptoms to show up belatedly.
India had batting allrounder Ramandeep Singh on the bench, who might have better fit the definition of a like-for-like replacement for Dube. For a short while, Ramandeep came on as a substitute for Varun Chakravarthy.“He [Rana] is not the like-to-like replacement for Shivam Dube,” Pietersen had said on air. “You ask anyone in the world, and they will say the same thing. Dube is not a genuine pacer, but Rana is.” Knight also echoed these thoughts.
Rana, who was playing his first T20I, was brought into the attack in the 12th over and he struck with his second ball. He got a shortish ball to skid on and take the outside edge of Liam Livingstone, who had looked to guide it through third. Rana bowled his full quota of overs and picked up three wickets. He also was at short third to catch out England captain Jos Buttler, who walked back fuming and had a few words with head coach Brendon McCullum, perhaps at the approval of Rana as the concussion substitute.
“When Dube came back, two overs into the chase, I was told [about being the concussion substitute],” Rana said after the match. “I have been preparing for a while, not just for this series. I have been waiting for this moment [his debut] to prove myself. When I got the chance, I did not think of the circumstances and just thought about delivering. I have experience of bowling at the death [for KKR in the IPL] and relied on that.”
In the recent India vs England series, there was a lot of buzz around the decision to sub in Harshal Patel for Shardul Thakur. Jos Buttler, the England wicketkeeper-batsman, shared his thoughts on the substitution, stating that it was not a like-for-like replacement.Buttler emphasized that Rana is a different type of player compared to Dube, who was originally in the playing XI. He pointed out that Rana is more of a bowling all-rounder, while Dube is more of a batting all-rounder. Buttler noted that it was a strategic decision by the Indian team management to bring in Rana for Dube, based on the match conditions and team balance.
The England player acknowledged that such decisions are part and parcel of the game and that teams often have to make tough calls based on the situation. He also praised Rana for his performance in the match, highlighting his contribution to the team’s success.
Overall, Buttler’s comments shed light on the intricacies of team selection and the thought process behind making substitutions in cricket matches. It is clear that every player brings a unique skill set to the team, and it is up to the management to make the best possible decisions for the team’s success.

“Proper Cheating …”: Controversial Concussion Substitution Sees Harshit Rana Replace Shivam Dube vs England, Internet Reacts
Talented pacer Harshit Rana, who has played two Tests, quite surprisingly made a surprise entry into the India playing XI in the fourth T20I against England in Pune on Friday. Though initially not named in the XI, Rana was called upon to replace allrounder Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute after the latter was struck on the helmet in the final over of India’s innings. Dube, who scored 53, was hit on the helmet in the penultimate ball of the Indian innings by a Jamie Overton delivery.
Following the mandatory concussion test, Dube was cleared to play. However, he was run out on the final delivery of the innings.
Rana, who had recently played in the opening Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, came in to bowl in the 12th over and made an immediate impact, dismissing Liam Livingstone for 9. Rana finished with three wickets.
England skipper Jos Buttler appeared unhappy with the decision and was seen having a discussion with the umpires on the field. According to ICC’s rules, teams are only allowed to name like-for-like replacements if a batsman is ruled out due to a concussion.
The decision to use Rana as a replacement of Dube did not go down well with many social media users, with some calling it cheating.
How Harshit Rana is a like to like replacement for Shivam Dube?
Is match refree dumb? Does he know anything about cricket?
This is proper cheating from BCCI. Shivam Dube is a part timer & is useless bowler in T20I who doesn’t bowl in IPL as well for India much.
Shameful!!
— Rajiv (@Rajiv1841) January 31, 2025Harshit Rana is like-for-like for Shivam Dube?
No wonder IND thought Reddy was a 4th fast bowler in AUS.
— cricketingview (@cricketingview) January 31, 2025Rather than concussion sub the right word used should be Impact Sub. https://t.co/F2SO8gAV3f
— Prasanna (@prasannalara) January 31, 2025It’s outrageous to have Harshit Rana as a concussion sub for Shivam Dube (two completely different player types). India are literally playing with 12 players here.
— Alagappan Vijayakumar (@IndianMourinho) January 31, 2025India had posted 181/9 after being sent in to bat. The hosts won the match by 15 runs to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. The final T20I will be played in Mumbai on Sunday.

Explained: The Concussion Sub Rule Loophole That Allowed Specialist Bowler Harshit Rana To Replace Part-Timer Shivam Dube | IND vs ENG 2025
In the fourth India-England T20I, specialist pacer Harshit Rana was a concussion substitute for all-rounder Shivam Dube – a clause in the ICC’s laws allowing India to do so despite the two not being “like-for-like” players.
Off the penultimate ball of the first innings, Dube, who scored 53, was struck on the helmet by a Jamie Overton bouncer. He was checked briefly by the Indian team physio, before going on to face the last delivery of the innings, taking India to 181-9.
Initially, Dube did not come out to field in the second innings, with Ramandeep Singh standing in as a substitute fielder. As the innings wore on, Dube did not take the field and it emerged that Harshit Rana was on the ground instead.
There were explanations ventured by the broadcast commentators that Rana may be a concussion substitute for Dube, given the blow the latter had taken earlier on – this was confirmed at the end of the 10th over, meaning this was now officially Rana’s T20I debut.
Why was the Harshit Rana-Shivam Dube concussion sub controversial?
England captain Jos Buttler was not happy with the decision to allow Rana to replace Dube, and former England international Kevin Pietersen said on commentary that he didn’t like the call.
The ICC playing conditions state that a concussion substitute must be a “like-for-like” replacement for a concussed player. Dube is largely a batting all-rounder, who can bowl seam-up, but rarely does so for India.
Rana, on the other hand, is a specialist pace bowler, who can swing the bat a bit – meaning the argument can be made that these two players are not like-for-like.
Dube has bowled nine overs in his last 12 T20Is, while Rana, making his T20I debut, has just two T20 runs to his name.
So why were India allowed to make the change?
Clause 1.2.7.4 of the ICC’s T20I Playing Conditions states, “In assessing whether the nominated Concussion Replacement should be considered a like-for-like player, the ICC Match Referee should consider the likely role the concussed player would have played during the remainder of the match, and the normal role that would be performed by the nominated Concussion Replacement.”
Since the role to be considered by the ICC Match Referee is that of the player for the remainder of the game, Rana was allowed to be the substitute as he could bowl and field – the same role that Dube would have performed, had he remained on. Further support for the “like-for-like” aspect is that both players are pacers.
However, Clause 1.2.7.3 states that “The ICC Match Referee should ordinarily approve a Concussion Replacement Request if the replacement is a like-for-like player whose inclusion will not excessively advantage his/her team for the remainder of the match.”
Watch: England outsmart SKY with funky leg-side trap to cap off Mahmood triple-wicket maiden
There is a case to be made that Rana is a significantly higher-quality bowler than Dube, so the substitute would excessively advantage India for the remainder of the match – but that is a judgment call left up to the Match Referee.
Against Australia in 2020, India made a similar concussion subsitute as all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja made way for Yuzvendra Chahal – something Australia coach Justin Langer was unhappy about, although in that case the gap in quality between the two players may not have been as large as it is here.
In 2019, Bangladesh substituted wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das for specialist spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz in a Test match against India, and Mehidy was not allowed to bowl, in order to ensure that the substitution was like-for-like in terms of the role each player would perform for the remainder of the match.

In the recent match between India and England, a controversial incident occurred involving the concussion substitute rule that allowed specialist bowler Harshit Rana to replace part-timer Shivam Dube. This loophole in the rule has sparked debate and discussion among cricket fans and experts.The concussion substitute rule was introduced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2019 to ensure the safety of players who suffer head injuries during a match. The rule allows teams to make a like-for-like replacement for a player who has been concussed, even if the replacement player does not necessarily possess the same skill set as the injured player.
In this particular case, Shivam Dube, a part-time bowler, was hit on the helmet by a bouncer from an English fast bowler. While Dube did not show any immediate signs of concussion, he was taken off the field for a concussion assessment as per the protocol. Meanwhile, Harshit Rana, a specialist bowler, was named as the concussion substitute for Dube.
Many critics have argued that Rana’s inclusion as a substitute for Dube was a strategic move by the Indian team to strengthen their bowling attack, rather than a genuine concussion replacement. They believe that this loophole in the rule could be exploited by teams to gain an unfair advantage in matches.
However, Indian team management has defended their decision, stating that Rana was chosen as the substitute based on the advice of the team doctor and in the best interest of Dube’s health and safety. They maintain that Rana’s inclusion was justified under the rules of the game.
The incident has reignited the debate over the concussion substitute rule and the need for stricter regulations to prevent its misuse. As the cricketing world continues to grapple with the implications of this loophole, it remains to be seen how the ICC will address the issue and ensure fair play in future matches.

Harshit Rana becomes first Indian cricketer to make T20I debut as a concussion sub, replaces Shivam Dube vs England
Harshit Rana made his T20I debut in rather unusual circumstances, becoming the first Indian cricketer to play his first international match in this format as a concussion substitute. Rana, who was not originally a part of India’s playing XI for the fourth T20I against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, came into the side as a concussion substitute for all-rounder Shivam Dube.
India’s Harshit Rana in action(REUTERS) Dube, who himself was playing his first match of the series, replacing Washington Sundar in the XI, smashed 53 off 34 balls to help India reach 181/9 in their allotted 20 overs. The lanky left-hander, who coped with a few body blows early into his innings courtesy of some hostile bowling from England fast bowler Jofra Archer, was hit on the helmet by a Jamie Overton bouncer on the penultimate ball of the Indian innings.
Dube was run out while coming back for a second run on the last ball of the over and did not come out to the field. The medical team was looking after him. Ramandeep Singh was in the field for the first six over.
Rana, meanwhile, came in as the substitute after the powerplay. The official confirmation for the same came a couple of overs later. “Harshit Rana is the concussion substitute for Shivam Dube,” the BCCI said.
By then Rana had already left a mark on the match by taking a sharp catch off Ravi Bishnoi’s bowling that saw the back of England captain Jos Buttler.
Rana was introduced to the attack in the 12th over, and he was successful as early as the second ball of his spell. Liam Livingstone got an outside edge to keeper Sanju Samson.
Rana made his Test debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and played the first two Tests.
Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube power India to 181/9
Earlier, Coming in at No. 7, Pandya was stylish and destructive in equal measure hitting four boundaries and an equal number of maximums in his 30-ball-53.
Dube (53 off 34 balls) also didn’t do too badly in a stand of 87 off 48 balls for the sixth wicket after pacer Saqib Mahmood (3/35 in 4 overs) reduced India to 12 for 3 by the end of second over.
Dube was coming back into national colours after bagging a pair in a Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir last week.
But Pandya, who many feel can take MS Dhoni’s role as a finisher, began with an aggressive approach, then rotated the strike for a few overs before launching a brutal final assault on the English bowlers. However his innings was cut short by one shot too many.
He got an able ally in Dube, who hit seven fours and two sixes as India got as many as 109 runs in the back-10.
Mahmood, playing his first game of the series, struck thrice in his first over and all three were well-planned dismissals.
Harshit Rana creates history as first Indian cricketer to debut as a concussion sub in T20I match against EnglandIn a groundbreaking moment for Indian cricket, Harshit Rana has become the first Indian cricketer to make his T20I debut as a concussion substitute. Rana replaced Shivam Dube in the ongoing T20I series against England after Dube suffered a concussion during the match.
The 24-year-old all-rounder was called up to the Indian squad as a replacement player for the injured Hardik Pandya, and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Rana impressed with his performance in domestic cricket and was rewarded with a chance to represent his country in the shortest format of the game.
Rana’s debut as a concussion substitute highlights the importance of player safety in cricket and the protocols in place to protect the well-being of athletes. His inclusion in the playing XI is a testament to his talent and hard work, and it marks a significant milestone in his cricketing career.
As Rana takes to the field in his first T20I match against England, Indian cricket fans are eagerly awaiting to see what he can bring to the team. His selection as a concussion sub showcases the depth and talent in Indian cricket, and it is a proud moment for both Rana and Indian cricket as a whole.
Congratulations to Harshit Rana on his historic T20I debut, and here’s hoping for a successful and memorable journey ahead for the talented cricketer. Let’s cheer him on as he represents India on the international stage! #HarshitRana #T20I #Cricket #IndiaVsEngland

#Harshit #Rana #Indian #cricketer #T20I #debut #concussion #replaces #Shivam #Dube #EnglandIND vs ENG 4th T20I: Why was Harshit Rana allowed to bowl after coming in as concussion sub for Shivam Dube? Here’s what the rules say | Cricket News
Harshit Rana made his T20I debut for India under unusual circumstances when he was bought in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube in the 4th India vs England encounter in Pune on Friday.
Rana made instant impact when he came on the field in the 8th over and took the catch of England skipper Jos Buttler who after getting dismissed wasn’t happy and had a chat with the coaching staff in the England dug-out.
With Rana on the field, India had an extra bowling option at their disposal with the Kolkata Knight Riders pacer striking instantly with the ball in hand in the 12th over when he snapped up Liam Livingstone.
He would strike again in the 16th over when he sent back Jacob Bethell for just 6 runs.
The decision courted quite a bit of controversy online with a pacer replacing an allrounder with experts pointing out that it was not a like for like substitution.
India, however, have been in this situation before as well when back in 2020, Yuzvendra Chahal came in as a concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja in a T20I game against Australia and ended up being the player of the match for his three wickets.
The concussion rule
Rule 1.2.7.3 of the ICC playing conditions for concussion substitution states: “The ICC Match Referee should ordinarily approve a Concussion Replacement Request if the replacement is a like-for-like player whose inclusion will not excessively advantage his team for the remainder of the match.” Rule 1.2.7.7 states: “The decision of the ICC Match Referee in relation to any Concussion Replacement Request shall be final and neither team shall have any right of appeal.”

In 2019, ICC general manager (cricket) Geoff Allardice tried to clarify the ‘like-for-like’ issue. “Every circumstance is going to be different depending on when the player is requested to be replaced,” Allardice told reporters at Edgbaston, adding: “…it’s very much around what is the likely role of the injured player for rest of the match and who is most like-for-like with the role that player will play.”

In the recent IND vs ENG 4th T20I match, there was a controversial moment when Harshit Rana was allowed to bowl after coming in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. Many fans were left puzzled by this decision and questioned the validity of Rana’s participation in the match.According to the rules set by the International Cricket Council (ICC), a player can be replaced by a concussion substitute if they are deemed unfit to continue playing due to a head injury. In this case, Shivam Dube suffered a blow to the head and was unable to continue, leading to Rana being brought in as a substitute.
However, the rules also state that the concussion substitute can only perform the role of the player they are replacing. In this case, Dube is an all-rounder and a bowler, so Rana was allowed to bowl in his place. This decision was made to ensure that the integrity of the game is maintained and that the team is not unfairly disadvantaged by the loss of a player.
While some may argue that Rana should not have been allowed to bowl as a substitute, it is important to remember that the rules are in place to protect the safety and well-being of the players. In this instance, the match officials deemed Rana’s participation as a substitute to be within the rules, and the game continued as normal.
Ultimately, it is up to the match officials to make these decisions based on the circumstances of the match. As fans, we may not always agree with their rulings, but we must trust that they are acting in the best interest of the game and the players involved.

Who Is Umar Nazir Mir: 6-Foot-4 Tall Jammu And Kashmir Fast Bowler Who Dismissed Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane And Shivam Dube
Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Umar Nazir Mir produced a brilliant spell as he dismissed Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube during the Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai on Thursday. The 31-year-old troubles batters with his pace and bounce as Mumbai kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Mir dismissed Rohit for 3 with a short-pitched delivery and then clean bowled Rahane for 12. Dube was dismissed for a duck as he was caught by Kanhaiya Wadhawan. It was a stunning show from Mir who is an experienced campaigner for Jammu and Kashmir in domestic cricket.
Mir made his first-call debut in 2013 and since then, he has taken 138 wickets in 57 matches. In List A cricket, he has 54 wickets while the fast bowler has taken 32 wickets in T20s.
Mir, who hails from Pulwama and in 6-Foot-4 tall, was also named in India C’s squad for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy.
The much-anticipated return to domestic cricket for India captain Rohit Sharma and his opening partner in Tests Yashasvi Jaiswal was a huge disappointment as the duo was dismissed cheaply in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, here on Thursday.
Rohit and Jaiswal had paired up for the first time ever for defending champions Mumbai, but it was not a happy return to the domestic grind for the star cricketers who were dismissed for 3 and 4 respectively.
Jaiswal was pinned in front of the wicket by J&K’s right-arm pacer Auqib Nabi, who made the most of the fresh wicket to move the new ball dangerously off the surface here at the BKC Ground.
But it was the manner in which the India captain fell that was disappointing. Looking to force the ball on the on side, Rohit got a leading edge which was caught by J&K skipper Paras Dogra at mid-off.
Interestingly, Dogra took the field wearing the No. 9 jersey that is usually worn by Yudhvir Singh, thus creating some confusion.
The 31-year-old Umar continued to make inroads as he ended Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane’s resistance by cleaning him up for 12.
While the turnout to watch the India cricketing stars at the stadium was low, those in nearby buildings, who were watching the action from their office floors, returned to work soon after the 37-year-old Rohit was dismissed.
