Men’s ODI WC: Mathews May Have Avoided ‘Timed Out’ Dismissal On Alerting Umpires To Helmet Issue Quickly, Says MCC
The Marylebone Cricket Club: The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) stated that the umpires were correct in their decision to rule Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews ‘Timed Out’ in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup against Bangladesh, and added that the all-rounder could have avoided the dismissal if he had alerted the on-field umpires about the issue in his helmet.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on November 6, Mathews on Monday became the first cricketer to be dismissed 'timed out' in international cricket. But he encountered a delay in taking the guard as a strap of his helmet broke and Mathews signaled to the dugout for a replacement helmet.
This prompted Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan to appeal for a 'timed-out' dismissal, following which the on-field umpires declared Mathews out by that mode, leading to many opinions around it, especially in the aftermath of the incident.
