Overview

  • Maharashtra’s Saurabh Nawale became the first serious-injury replacement, coming in for West Zone’s Harvik Desai, who was ruled out with a reported quadriceps injury.
  • Officials approved the substitution under the new playing conditions after the umpires consulted the match referee and the team doctor.
  • Nawale batted at No. 3 and made 9 off 31 balls before being dismissed by Central off-spinner Saransh Jain.
  • Central Zone progressed to the Duleep Trophy final on a first-innings lead and will meet South Zone.
  • The BCCI added the rule to its 2025–26 multi-day playing conditions following high-profile injuries, it applies only to red-ball contests, and the ICC is running similar trials across Full-Member domestic first-class competitions.
