Labuschagne becomes first-ever concussion substitute in int'l cricket

Australia's South Africa-born all-rounder Marnus Labuschagne has become the first-ever concussion substitute in international cricket. Labuschagne replaced Steve Smith, who has been ruled out of the Lord's Test following a delayed concussion after being hit on neck by a 148-kmph bouncer by England pacer Jofra Archer. Concussion substitute rule came into effect in international cricket on August 1.
