Cricket 'is failing to protect players' from concussionMichael Dodge Stuart Broad of England is hit by a Josh Hazlewood bouncer during the fourth Ashes test. "International cricket has been slow to react to concussion, and there is far more that could be done to reduce risks," Brukner said. "The International Cricket Council should mandate that, in all international cricket, there is a team doctor," Brukner said. "This shows that other nations are failing to do enough to protect their players," Brukner said. So far, only Australia and England have agreed to concussion substitutes in domestic first-class cricket.
