Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews becomes the first batsman ever in international cricket to be TIMED OUT... as he wasn't ready to face his first ball two minutes after the last fall of wicket

  • He is the first batsman in 146 years of international cricket to be given timed out
  • His helmet broke when he was at the crease and he couldn't get another in time
  • Angelo Mathews pleaded with the umpires but they upheld Bangladesh's appeal 

 

The World Cup descended into acrimony as Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews became the first player in 146 years of international cricket to be given 'timed out'.

Mathews was about to take strike in the 25th over of his side's match against Bangladesh in Delhi when he stepped away to fiddle with the chinstrap of his helmet.

That persuaded Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan to appeal to the umpires on the grounds that Mathews had contravened Law 40.1.1, which says the striker has to be 'ready to receive the ball' within three minutes of the previous wicket - though that drops to two minutes in the World Cup playing regulations.
