MELBOURNE : England seamer Reece Topley appears doubtful for their opening T20 World Cup match against Afghanistan after rolling his ankle during practice, the team said on Tuesday.
It isn't often that fans come across ‘obstructing the field' incidents in cricket. However, in a game between Australia and England recently, wicket-keeper batter Matthew Wade seemed to have prevented Mark Wood from catching the ball. England didn't appeal against the incident though skipper Jos Buttler stressed that he would not hesitate in appealing the next time. Wade, who turned a blind eye towards the incident, has now admitted that what he did ‘looked horrible'. "That looked horrible when I saw it after the game," Wade told cricket.com.au's The Unplayable Podcast. "It was one of those things that just happened so fast.
Skipper Jos Buttler was particularly happy with the return of Liam Livingstone (ankle) and Chris Jordan (finger) from injuries. "It's great to see Liam Livingstone back on the field after a significant injury, and get four overs from Chris Jordan as well," Buttler said.
India all-rounder Deepti Sharma recently ran England's Charlie Dean out at the non-striker's during a women's ODI at Lord's in September. Dean's dismissal sparked a debate on social media, with fans having a divided opinion regarding the mode of dismissal. While many consider that it is against the spirit of play, the Marylebone Cricket Club -- the custodians of the laws of cricket - had earlier this year moved the mode of dismissal from the 'unfair play' section of their laws to the 'run out' section.

MELBOURNE: England captain Jos Buttler is happy with his team's preparation but tipped champions Australia as the favourites to win the Twenty20 World Cup on home soil, in comments to the media on Saturday.
India's Deepti Sharma recently ran England's Charlie Dean out at the non-striker's end during a women's ODI last month at the Lord's. Since then, there has been a lot of discussion regarding the mode of dismissal. On Friday, Australia pacer Mitchell Starc warned England captain Jos Buttler for backing up too early, during the third T20I in Canberra. Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag is the latest to join the debate. Parag took to Twitter and said that he going to run someone out at the non-striker's end, most likely during the next year's Indian Premier League season.
Aaron Finch is "not a big fan" of 'Mankading', a controversial dismissal where bowlers run out batters backing up at the non-strikers' end. Mankading, informally named after former India cricketer Vinoo Mankad, has been in the news of late after Deepti Sharma ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end for leaving her crease too early to hand a 3-0 ODI series sweep in England last month.
