24.1 SUBSTITUTE FIELDERS


A substitute is a player who fields instead of a nominated player

Anyone can act as a substitute and he does not have to be a nominated player

A substitute cannot bowl nor act as the captain but he may become the wicket-keeper with the consent of the umpires

A fielder leaving the field to change a shirt or boots should not be allowed a substitute
