ICC's Concussion Management guidelines.

Rehabilitation
The Berlin Consensus describes a graded return to play process leading to a formal medical
clearance. Each stage of the rehabilitation should be reviewed to ensure that concussion
symptoms have not returned. Generally, concussion symptoms will settle within 2-3 days
and a player diagnosed with concussion is ready to return in about a week but in some
individuals this time might be shorter or longer. Experienced medical oversight, as occurs in
elite teams, is essential if a player is to return to play within a week or on a subsequent day
of a multi-day match. A team physiotherapist may fulfill this role in the absence of a team
doctor, if they have been specifically trained and have had supervised experience in the
management of concussion and have adequate specialist medical advice available. An
experienced match day doctor can support the process under these circumstances.
Typical graded return to play for cricket:
- 24 hours relative rest
- light aerobic exercise
- light training
CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
11 / 22 Dec 2020
- full training
- cleared to compete
If at any of these stages’ symptoms return, the player should drop back an exercise level.
If the player is a student they may require a couple of days off school to rest. A player should
not return to full training if unable to attend school or work without symptoms returning.
The return to play decision - for a subsequent match or during a multi-day
match
A concussed player requires a formal medical clearance to return to training and play and
never permitted to return on the day of the injury.
Usually a player will recover in about 7
days but this can vary from individual to individual.
hope he is ok
