The BCCI has amended the game position and allows a new rule, which allows the replacement of injury to multi-day formats for the upcoming domestic season, an idea that has recently been interacting since the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which also included several injuries in the series, including the Bharat Star Rishabh Pant fracture.
It is believed that the rule change, which was demanded by Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir, was opposed by English captain Ben Stokes, who called it a ridiculous suggestion. In the series, a player from each side, Rishabh Pant and Chris Woakes suffered injuries that excluded them from further contribution to the game.
“Of course, I am doing everything for this,” Gambhir said after Pant’s injury during the fourth test in Manchester.

Stokes, however, were not for it and said, “It is absolutely ridiculous that an injury is a conversation around replacement.”

Set of new rules from BCCI
Some other rules were also changes – deliberately on short runs and batsmen were retired; However, severe injury replacement is a complete new addition to sports conditions for the upcoming Indian domestic season.
A small run is an attempt to complete a quick couple or triple between overs without reaching the crease properly, where at least one batsman does not make his land at one end. The batsmen can either choose to score a run, provided the umpire believes that they did not attempt to cheat the umpires in any way, or if they blame the batsmen, they may have to abortion.
Under such a section, the fielding captain will be empowered to select the batsman who will strike for the next delivery.
In addition, if a batsman retires for any reason other than described in 25.4.2, he will be rejected and will not get any chance to return to the crease.
