The concussion substitute can come in for a knocked-out player, yes, but the 'like-for-like' test is where the headache truly begins for the umpires. They must decide if the new player is of similar skill, which always feels like guessing whether one kettle replaces another by the whistle, not the brew. I was once substituted after a bouncer, and they brought in a part-time bowler for me, a specialist bat—my team’s balance tilted more than my own chhaati that day!
