Australia coach Justin Langer has blown up at match referee and former teammate David Boon after India star Ravi Jadeja was controversially allowed a concussion replacement in the opening T20 international in Canberra.<\/p>\n

Langer was incensed before Australia started its pursuit of 7-161 after the ICC officials allowed India's 12th man Yuzvendra Chahal to replace Jadeja at the bowling crease.<\/p>\n

Jadeja rescued India's innings with 44 not out off 23 balls despite appearing to sustain a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

\"Virat<\/p>\n

He battled through but was then struck in the helmet by Mitchell Starc in the final over of India's innings.<\/p>\n

Jadeja kept batting and scored nine more runs from three balls before India's medical team deemed he was not fit to take the field in the innings break.<\/p>\n

"Should he have had a concussion test then and there?<\/p>\n

"You can't really have it both ways," former Australia star Mark Waugh opined on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

"You can't have a substitute who can then bowl for you, but still bat on."<\/p>\n

\"Abbott's<\/p>\n

Chahal took 3-25 from his four overs as India went on to post a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n

"He might get man of the match off the bench," Waugh said.<\/p>\n

"Has that ever happened before?"<\/p>\n

The concussion substitute rule was introduced by the ICC last year.<\/p>\n

Marnus Labuschagne came in for Steve Smith in the 2019 Ashes series, the first time the rule had been used.<\/p>\n

Adam Gilchrist also weighed in.<\/p>\n

"I would assume the Australian management would be saying wouldn't there be protocols that need to be met to make that judgement?<\/p>\n

"It was nine off three more deliveries, a pretty important nine," Gilchrist said.<\/p>\n

\"Swepson<\/p>\n

"In any case it was a bad hamstring injury, bad enough for him to not come out and bowl.<\/p>\n

"He got a lot of medical attention and had that right hamstring strapped up by the trainer."<\/p>\n

Former England captain Michael Vaughan, meanwhile, was sceptical on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Jadeja's fitness for the rest of the T20s and Test series is now under a cloud.<\/p>\n

Australia captain Aaron Finch also appeared to be struggling with a hamstring injury during his innings.<\/p>\n
