NEW DELHI: Pakistan cricketer Usama Mir became the first-ever concussion substitute in World Cup history. Mir took the field after Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan suffered a head injury during their World Cup fixture against South Africa on Friday. Shadab was replaced by spinner Mir as the concussion substitute.
The incident took place in the first over of South Africa's chase. Shadab, in an attempt to run out Quinton de Kock, ended up landing awkwardly on his head and shoulder, requiring immediate medical attention.
