Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews has made unwanted history after becoming the first player in international cricket to be ‘timed out’
Mathews walked in after the fall of Sadeera Samarawickrama during the 25th over of Sri Lankan’s innings against Bangladesh at the World Cup in India but appeared to have issues with the strap of his helmet. Under the tournament’s playing conditions, a new batter should be ready to face the ball within two minutes but Mathews was seen still fiddling with the helmet.
The former Sri Lanka captain was eventually adjudged timed out after bowler, and Bangladesh captain, Shakib Al Hasan made an appeal. Mathews remonstrated with the umpires for a while before leaving the pitch shaking his head in dismay and threw his helmet as soon as he crossed the boundary.
