Supersubs dropped after less than a year
The largely unloved experiment with “supersubs” in one-day cricket is to be abandoned next month after an admission from the International Cricket Council that it has been a failure, Guardian reports.
Vikram Solanki of England made history in July when he became cricket’s first international supersub, replacing Simon Jones in a one-day international at Headingley. But the ICC’s chief executives committee, meeting in Dubai, recommended that the experiment should be scrapped when the executive board meets next month. It now looks inevitable that the experiment will end on March 21, before the start of England’s one-day series against India.
