Bangladesh Vs Sri Lanka, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Angelo Mathews Becomes The First Cricketer To Be Given Timed Out - In Pics

Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Matthews on Monday became the first international cricketer to be 'timed out' after not being ready to face the ball within two minutes of the fall of a wicket against Bangladesh in a World Cup match in Delhi. The 36-year-old former captain, walked out to bat after the dismissal of Sadeera Samarawickrama but had some issues with his helmet strap and signalled for a replacement, prompting Bangladesh to appeal for a 'time out'. Mathews then had a animated conversation with the umpires but the latter did not budge and the appeal stood.
