Cricket World Cup 2023: ‘Timed Out’ Appeal Not Shakib Al Hasan’s Idea. Bangladesh Skipper’s Huge Revelation | Cricket News

Angelo Mathews grew to become the primary cricketer within the historical past of worldwide cricket to be dismissed ‘timed out’ through the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Mathews was not able to face his first ball inside two minutes of the earlier dismissal and the umpire had no choice aside from giving him out following an enchantment from Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan. Following the incident, Mathews has slammed the whole ordeal and Shakib has been criticised by followers and consultants. However, Shakib revealed after the match that the enchantment was not initially his concept.

“One of our fielders came to me and said that if I appealed, he would be out. The umpire asked me if I was serious. It’s in the laws; I don’t know if it’s right or wrong. I felt like I was at war. Whatever I had to do, I did it. There will be debates. Today that (the time out) helped, I won’t deny that!” he defined.

While the precise id of the fielder in query was not revealed, it was likely Najmul Hossain Shanto as he was seen speaking to the skipper and interesting throughout the whole incident.

Mathews on Monday referred to as Bangladesh’s choice to dismiss him through ‘day trip’ as “disgraceful” and stated it had left him in “complete shock”. Mathews grew to become the primary batter to be timed out in worldwide cricket as Bangladesh formally knocked Sri Lanka out of the World Cup with a three-wicket win in a dramatic match which was held amid extreme air air pollution in New Delhi on Monday.

“I haven’t done anything wrong. I had two minutes to get ready which I did but there was an equipment malfunction and I don’t know where commonsense (had) gone. It was disgraceful from Shakib and Bangladesh,” Mathews stated through the post-match press convention.

“If they want to play cricket like that, stoop to that level, it is something wrong drastically. If I got late, past my two minutes and the law says I have to get ready in two minutes, I still had five more seconds to go. It was just pure common sense, I am not saying (doing) ‘Mankading’ or obstructing the field here, It is absolutely disgraceful,” the veteran Sri Lankan cricketer stated.
