In a Triples game, can a player replace a damaged bowl with a new set of bowls?

A player can replace a damaged bowl with a new set of bowls with the umpire's approval because the regulations allow for the replacement of equipment that is rendered unusable due to damage. In the context of a Triples game, if a bowl is found to be damaged, it is permissible for the player to ask the umpire for approval to use a new set of bowls that matches the type and specifications of the ones originally used. This ensures that the game maintains fairness and consistency in terms of equipment, as the player cannot simply use any bowl at their discretion.

This approach also allows for the integrity of the match to be upheld, ensuring that all players are using bowls that conform to the regulations and standards of play. Other options suggest limitations that do not align with the rules governing the replacement of damaged equipment and would compromise the standardization and fairness expected in the game.
