Should teams be allowed to replace injured players in their XI?

It just would be unfair to have a test match go uneven because of injury and that is when the captain resort to negative tactics.. If the injury is checked by a neutral party then why not allow a replacement?!! Also, Instead of super sub in a one day game it would be nice to have a super sub ONLY for bowlers in test matches..

Yes they should allow it but the captain of the other team decides which player can come in,in that way there cant be any cheating,because if the other captain decides which player can be the substitute then there is no point of faking since the other captain will probably allow someone who is not good at batting/bowling .

Simple and fair policy : 1. Immediate replacements for that day should be denied. 2. The least that could be done is to allow a replacement for the next day, provided all the medical certificates related to the injury of the player concerned is submitted and verified by a neutral deciding authority. 3. The replacement done should be of the same category as the injured player is (batsman/bowler/keeper..) 4. The replacement should be from the squad that was announced before the commencement of the series.
