what is retired hurt in cricket

In cricket, a batsman may retire from an innings at any time when the ball is dead; they must then be replaced by a teammate who has not been dismissed). The term "retired hurt" refers to a situation where a batsman is unable to continue their innings due to injury, illness, or any other unavoidable cause. The umpires permission is sought before the batsman is granted to withdraw from their innings. If a batsman retires hurt, they are considered retired - not out and are permitted to return to batting if they recover). However, they can only resume their innings at the fall of a wicket or the retirement of another batsman in their team. In cricket statistics, a retired hurt batsman is counted as retired hurt-not out). It is important to note that the term "retired out" is different from "retired hurt." A batsman who retires out does so voluntarily and cannot resume their innings later in the game without the approval of the opposition captain.
