The incident led to a massive controversy with experts and fans split over the 'spirit of cricket' discussion that surrounded the event. Mathews reached the crease in time but due to a broken helmet strap, he was not ready to face his first delivery.

While tempers flared after that match, Mathews saw the funny side of things when he was reportedly teased by New Zealand players on Thursday.

New Zealand's options with the turning ball are boosted by all-rounders Rachin Ravindra, who has hit three centuries at the ODI World Cup, and Glenn Phillips.
