Angelo Mathews ‘Time Out’ Controversy: A strange incident took place during the 38th match of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka World Cup 2023 when Sri Lankan batsman Angelo Mathews was dismissed by the umpire for a ‘time out’ without playing a single ball. In fact, according to the rules of cricket, if after a player is dismissed, the new batsman does not reach the crease within the next three minutes, he is given out due to the ‘time out’ rule. Cricket fans have read about ‘time out’ in the rules, but this is the first time this has happened in international cricket.

The full story of Angelo Mathews’ sacking
Angelo Mathews had to come in to bat in the 25th over of Sri Lanka’s innings as Sadira Samarawickrama got out. Usually the batsmen are ready before their number. Mathews was also ready for his batting and reached the ground on time. But before reaching the crease, as he was tightening his helmet strap, the strap broke. Due to this, Mathews asked his teammate for another helmet before reaching the crease. When the Bangladeshi team felt that too much time was being wasted, they complained to the umpires. Umpire asks Shakib do you really want to appeal this.

After Shakib Al Hasan’s appeal, the umpire dismissed Angelo Mathews. Mathews explained the reason for not reaching the crease, but the umpires did not listen to him and due to the rules, he had to return to the pavilion without playing a single ball.

What does the statute of limitations say?
According to the time out rule, if a player is out, the new player has to reach the crease within the next three minutes. If the new batsman fails to do so, he is declared out. Angelo Mathews’ mistake here was that he reached the ground in time, but did not reach the crease. Had he reached the crease with a broken helmet, he might not have been given out.
