England captain Buttler addressed the controversy in his post-match press conference, saying: “We disagree with the decision.
“It’s not a like-for-like replacement. Either Shivam Dube has put on about 25mph with the ball, or Harshit has really improved his batting.
“They had a like-for-like replacement in Ramandeep Singh, so we are quite confused as to how Harshit Rana was able to come into the game. We’ll ask Javagal [Srinath, the match referee] some questions.
“We had no consultation. As I came out to bat, I asked the umpire why Harshit was on the field and he said he’s the concussion sub which I was quite confused by.
“Maybe at the toss next game, I’ll say we’re going to play 12 as well. I still think we should have gone on to win the match but we disagree with the decision.” (SKY)
