can I just double check on the rules for subs in these tri-series

if india are playing Australia and someone has English players in their first 5 , they don't get their subs included as England players are not meant to be playing in that game anyway ?

a sub would only be used if someone from the first 5 is not playing in a game their country is actually involved in ?

I have always scored them with first available five players, so in your scenario I would use subs.
