A huge controversy erupted in the ongoing Cricket World Cup earlier this week as Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews became the first batter in the 146-year history of international cricket to be timed out. Mathews arrived at the crease after the two-minute deadline, following Sadeera Samarawickrama's dismissal, due to an equipment malfunction. The former Sri Lanka captain was left fuming as he lashed out at the fourth umpire, and also labelled Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan's act as "disgraceful".
Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha called for a change to cricket's timed-out law, saying it should be a matter for the umpires only, as debate rumbled on about Shakib Al Hasan's role in a controversial dismissal of Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews. Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets in a World Cup group-stage game in Delhi on Monday. However, the result was overshadowed by Mathews becoming the first player in the 146-year history of major international cricket to be timed out following an appeal by Shakib, which the Tigers captain refused to withdraw.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 qualification is on the line for the Tigers, who are currently in the bottom three.
Australia will be up against Bangladesh in Match 43 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 11 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, India. The match commences at 10:30 AM IST. After a forgettable start to the tournament, Australia showcased why they are a powerhouse in world cricket. They registered six consecutive wins to make it to the semi-finals, where they are set to face South Africa in what will be a repeat of the iconic 1999 World Cup semi-final.
Allan Donald will leave his post as Bangladesh's fast-bowling coach following the Cricket World Cup, officials and media said on Friday, days after his public criticism in the wake of the "timed-out" row.
The 'timed out' controversy involving Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews and Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan has refused to die down, with views on the debatable form of dismissal coming in from all spectrums of the sport. Opinions remain divided on the matter, with some suggesting that Mathews was right to be annoyed since it was a helmet malfunction that led to the delay while others feel Shakib had the right to appeal as the matter was within the rule books. Now, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given his take on the controversial subject.
