Mitchell Starc Offers Alternative To Non-Striker's Run-Out After 'I Am Not Deepti' Incident Involving Jos Buttler

Despite numerous attempts by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the 'non-striker run-out' remains a questionable form of dismissal in the cricketing spectrum.

When India's Deepti Sharma dismissed England's Charlie Dean in the manner, her action was portrayed in the bad light. Australia pacer Mitchell Starc, in a match against England, gave Jos Buttler a warning over not leaving his crease early while saying "I am not Deepti".

Starc remains someone who is not a fan of the dismissal but also wants batters to remain inside the crease. He has now offered an alternative to this dismissal. "Why not take it out of the hands of interpretation, and make it black-and-white?" Starc told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. "Every time the batter leaves the crease before the front foot lands, dock them a run.

There's no grey area then." "And in T20 cricket where runs are so handy at the back end and games can be decided by one, two, three runs all the time, if all of a sudden you get docked 20 runs because a batter's leaving early, you're going to stop doing it, aren't you?
