In his place, a substitute fielder has been brought in by the Windies team.However, it is important to note that in his absence, the substitute fielder can neither bowl nor bat in the match. If Lawes feels better in the later half of the match, he can rejoin the West Indies team to continue his bowling; otherwise, he might have to sit out for the remainder of the game.Lawes' injury, however, seems more like a dehydration cramp, common in the Mullanpur heat. Hence, it is very much likely that the spinner will rejoin the field after sufficient rest and rehabilitation on the sidelines.Also Read- Indian PM Narendra Modi, HM Amit Shah Release Statement On India's Win vs Pakistan
