Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was in the middle of a massive controversy after Sri Lanka batter Angelo Mathews became the first cricketer ever to be dismissed 'timed out' in international cricket.
During the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between the two teams in New Delhi on Monday, Mathews failed to get ready for his first ball within the stipulated two minutes after the fall of a wicket and was given 'timed out' after Shakib's appeal.
While Mathews insisted that the delay happened due to some malfunction with the strap of his batting helmet, the Bangladesh skipper was not moved by the argument and the umpire had no other option than to send Mathews back to the dugout.
