A quick summary of the rules that follow:
Every Fantasy Cricket player should wisely include his reserve players.
? If a batsman gets injured he can be replaced by Reserve Batsman 1.
? If a wicketkeeper gets injured he can be replaced by Reserve Wicket Keeper 1
? If an allrounder gets injured he can be replaced by Reserve All-Rounder 1.
? If a bowler gets injured he can be replaced by Bowler 1.
? If Reserve Batsman 1 gets injured he can be replaced by Reserve Batsman 2.
? If Reserve Bowler 1 gets injured he can be replaced by Reserve Bowler 2.
Rules
- You may replace your player if you can find a news article proving their injury and they will miss the rest of the T20I and/or ODI series
- The injury replacement rule only applies to the first half of the ODI series so for a 7 match series, injury replacements are covered up to the 4th ODI (deadline would be start of 5th ODI).
- For a 3 match series, you can only replace an injured player if they were injured before the series started.
- For a Test match, you can only replace an injured player if they were injured before the Test match started.

Rules
- If a batsman is injured during the series and a news article is shown proving this, he can be replaced by a reserve batsman. If the Fantasy Cricket player wants to replace him with Reserve Batsman 1 he should tell it in the thread. The deadline for posting the replacement for the injured batsman is set when the next match starts, where the replacement plays. If the Fantasy Cricket player hasn?t indicated that he wants his injured player to be replaced with Reserve Batsman 1, the injured player remains in his team. If the injured player has underneath a minimum of -30 points (the maximum of a batsman's duck) he can't be replaced. If he has above -30 points he can be replaced.
Note: This rule is only in place for the first half of the series (not in place for 3 match ODI series) so if it is a 5 match ODI series then you can only replace a player that get's injured in one of the first 3 ODI matches.
- When an injured player gets replaced by another player he can?t be taken back. For example in a 5 ODI series: the first injured player gets 150 points in the first 2 ODI?s and his replacement player gets 100 points in the last 3 ODI?s. It?s no use of having the replacement player in that situation. Everybody who has included the replacement player would like to use his injured player again. But this will lead to false competition.
- If a player gets injured, the first post will be edited and the news article will be posted under the squad listings like this. It?s a simple copy of the first three lines of a cricinfo article and the url link:

- If the player is injured during the series and the Fantasy Cricket player has indicated he wants to replace his injured player, underneath the news article the name of the Fantasy Cricket player, which player is injured and by which player he has been replaced will be written. For example, like this:
Aussie1st: Zahid is replaced by Zexy.
- For a 3 match series, you can only get a player replaced if he was injured before the series started. If he was injured during the 3 match series, then he will not be replaced.
