Watch: David Warner ruled out of Delhi Test with concussion, substitute Renshaw hits nets

Australian opener David Warner has been ruled out of the ongoing second Test against India in Delhi with a concussion also putting his further participation in the rest of Border Gavaskar Trophy series in doubt.

Warner suffered knocks to the elbow and helmet from Mohammad Siraj’s bowling during a bruising 44-ball inning on day one of the Test.

Cricket Australia said that the second blow, which came off a top edge, left Warner with a concussion.

Under ICC rules, he is allowed to be replaced in the XI mid-match. Match referee Andy Pycroft approved Matthew Renshaw as substitute before play on Saturday.

“Warner will now follow the graduated return to sport protocols ahead of the third Test in Indore in line with Cricket Australia guidelines,” said a team spokesperson.

Renshaw, had a hit in the nets before play on Saturday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.


The ICC has also said Renshaw, who made 0 and 2 in the series opener in Nagpur, will not be able to send down his part-time off-spin in the match given Warner rarely bowls and the concussion substitute must be a like-for-like replacement.

36-year-old Warner has made scores of 0, 10 and 15 in his three innings in the current series.
