The Angelo Mathews 'timed out' controversy remains one of the most discussed incidents from the Cricket World Cup 2023. Mathews was dismissed without facing a single ball in the match against Bangladesh after failing to 'be ready' to face the bowler in the stipulated time of 2 minutes.

Though Mathews claims that it was the helmet malfunction that prevented him from being ready to face the bowler, veteran Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik feels that the all-rounder could've faced a delivery before asking for a replacement helmet.

Seeing Mathews taking longer than desired to be ready, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasand decided to appeal for 'timed out'.

The on-field umpire sent the issue upstair and the decision came in Bangladesh's favour. A furious Mathews had no choice but the return back to the bench dejected.
