“Saw Another Video Where Shakib Al Hasan…”: Ravichandran Ashwin On Angelo Mathews Timed Out Saga | Cricket News

The ‘timed out’ controversy involving Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan has refused to die down, with views on the debatable type of dismissal coming in from all spectrums of the game. Opinions stay divided on the matter, with some suggesting that Mathews was proper to be irritated because it was a helmet malfunction that led to the delay whereas others really feel Shakib had the fitting to attraction because the matter was throughout the rule books. Now, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given his tackle the controversial topic.

Ashwin, who has been on the middle of many such debates, particularly on the subject of non-striker dismissal, has at all times maintained that it is proper to do what’s within the rulebook. However, within the case of Mathews-Shakib, he has a barely totally different stance.

“One side is talking about the rules and another side is talking about the spirit of cricket. When Mathews came out to bat, his helmet was not okay, and he wanted to change that. I saw another video where Shakib did not bring his guard against Sri Lanka and he was allowed to bring it later. It has almost become warfare between these two countries,” Ashwin stated in a video on his YouTube channel.

“Actually with timed-out, yes Shakib appealed and the umpire gave it out, agreed. Recently, there has been information that Mathews was already warned by the umpires about the timed-out dismissal. But Mathews was really upset that he got out, and rightly so. No one should get out like that, everyone will feel bad about that,” Ashwin added.

To conclude the controversy, Ashwin stated that each are proper in their very own methods as one was following the principles whereas the opposite turned the sufferer of helmet malfunction.

“Both Angelo Mathews and Shakib Al Hasan were right. One person knew the rule and the other person asked if he could let it go since it was a helmet malfunction. The affected party is certainly the one who got out,” Ashwin concluded.
