Angelo Mathews timed out in Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh World Cup match

In a weird flip of occasions, Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews grew to become the primary participant to be timed out in worldwide cricket throughout a World Cup 2023 match in opposition to Bangladesh on the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday.

Mathews appeared to have an issue along with his helmet and wasn’t able to face a ball. Bangladesh appealed, and Mathews was given out. Once Shakib determined to uphold the choice, there was nothing the umpires may do.

Mathews walked in to bat after Shakib dismissed Sadeera Samarawickrama, who made a 42-ball 41. 

“After the fall of a wicket or the retirement of a batter, the incoming batter must, unless Time has been called, be ready to receive the ball, or for the other batter to be ready to receive the next ball within 3 minutes of the dismissal or retirement. If this requirement is not met, the incoming batter will be out, Timed out,” states the MCC rulebook.
