Event Technical Committee confirm replacement player in Malaysia squad
The ICC has confirmed the Event Technical Committee of the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division 5 (WCL Div. 5) has approved Nazril Abdul Rahman as a replacement player for the ill Hammad Ullah Khan in the Malaysia squad for the tournament.
The confirmation was conveyed to Malaysia on behalf of the committee on Friday. Hammad is suffering from suspected chicken pox and has returned to Malaysia to recover.
Any injury or illness-based replacement requires a written submission to the event technical committee along with a diagnosis from a medical practitioner as to the extent of the injury or illness. Once replaced, a player may not return to the squad save as an approved subsequent replacement for another injured or ill player.
Rahman is a 19-year-old right-handed batsman and medium-pace bowler and replaces Hammad a right-arm fast bowler.
As with all players in the tournament, the eligibility of a replacement player is subject to approval by the ICC before that player can be officially added to the squad.
The Event Technical Committee of the Pepsi ICC WCL Div. 5 consists of Tim Anderson (Chair - ICC Global Development Manager), David Thorley (ICC Tournament Director), Graeme La Brooy (ICC Tournament Referee), Prakash Vijaykumar (Host Tournament Director, SCA representative,) Lucy Benjamin (Tournament Media Manager - ICC Representative).
