"Bowler Is Not Villain...": Marylebone Cricket Club On 'Non-Striker Run-Out'
No bowler can be dubbed a villain for running out a batter, who is attempting to steal ground at the non-striker's end, the World Cricket Committee of the MCC asserted as it sought normalisation of the dismissal at all age-group levels. The MCC also called for "calm" on the contentious issue as a few former cricketers still believe that the mode of dismissal is against the spirit of the game despite the ICC ruling that it will be counted as 'run out' rather than 'unfair play'.

The clarification involved changing the wording of Law 38.3 to deliver better clarity and dispel "misconceptions" on it.

Amid Debate Around 'Non-Striker Run-Out', Marylebone Cricket Club Alters Rule
The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) on Thursday conceded there was some ambiguity in the law regarding running out a batter at the non-striker's end, and added that they were changing the wording of the law to remove all confusion. The change of wording comes weeks after an incident involving Australian spinner Adam Zampa in the Big Bash League (BBL). The Melbourne Stars skipper tried to effect a 'Mankad' dismissal against Melbourne Renegades batter Tom Rogers but found himself being 'stumped' by the TV umpire, much to the embarrassment of the off-spinner.
