  Runner (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cricket, a runner is a team member who runs between the wickets for an injured batsman.
When a runner is used, the batsman stands in position and plays shots as normal, but does not attempt to run between the wickets, and the runner runs in his stead.
The runner occupies the injured batsman's crease when he is on strike, but takes up a position away from the pitch at the umpire's discretion, usually in the vicinity of square leg.
