Ex-match referee Chris Broad reacted to referee Javagal Srinath allowing Harshit Rana to replace Shivam Dube as concussion substitute in the fourth India-England T20I. "How can an Indian...get away with allowing this Indian replacement? Match officials should be independent to omit bias!" Broad tweeted. Several experts, including Kevin Pietersen, stated it was not a like-for-like replacement.
