Player safety is hitting a new gear. If a concussion is suspected, the rule is simple: sit them out immediately. With a mandatory 21-day recovery window and strict medical clearance, cricket is prioritizing long-term health. From SCAT6 assessments to a seven-day graded return, athletes must follow precise steps to re-enter the pitch. Protect the player, preserve the future of the game.
