Watch: Angelo Mathews Left Fuming After 'Timed Out' Dismissal, Throws Away Helmet
Sri Lanka batter Angelo Mathews became the first cricketer ever to be 'timed out' during an international match as dramatic scenes unfolded during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh in New Delhi on Monday. According to the rules at the Cricket World Cup, any new batter needs to reach the crease within two minutes of the dismissal. However, Mathews could not reach the field in time as the strap of his helmet was broken. Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan appealed for the dismissal and the umpires had no other option than to give Mathews out. The Sri Lankan cricketer was left fuming at the incident and although he tried his best to state his case, the umpires did not change their decision.
