New Dehli:<\/strong> Sri Lanka\u2019s Angelo Mathews earned the dubious distinction of being the first ever player in international cricket to be \u2018timed out\u2019 in Monday\u2019s World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.<\/p>\n

Former Sri Lanka captain Mathews walked in after the fall of Sadeera Samarawickrama in the 25th over of the Sri Lankan innings but found the chinstrap of his helmet broken before he could take guard against bowler Shakib Al Hasan.<\/p>\n

Mathews removed his helmet and gestured to the dressing room asking for a replacement helmet as the clock ticked by.<\/p>\n

Under the tournament\u2019s playing conditions, a new batter should be ready to face the ball within two minutes but Mathews was seen still waiting for teammate Chamika Karunaratne to run in with a new helmet.<\/p>\n

Shakib was seen chatting with umpire Marais Erasmus before making an appeal and the batter was adjudged timed out.<\/p>\n

Mathews remonstrated with the umpires for a while before leaving the pitch shaking his had in dismay and threw his helmet soon after crossing the boundary.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy point is that Mathews\u2019 dismissal was not good for the spirit of cricket,\u201d Sri Lanka\u2019s Charith Asalanka, who smashed a century in the match, told the broadcasters.<\/p>\n

Former Bangladesh captain Athar Ali Khan echoed the same view while commentating on the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like what I\u2019m seeing, it is not good for the game. It\u2019s against the spirit of the game, that\u2019s how I feel about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf something goes wrong with the helmet you should be allowed an extra couple of minutes to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja said it was the batter\u2019s duty to be ready within the stipulated time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo a certain degree it is an onus on cricketers to learn the rules and understand the spirit of the rules,\u201d Raja said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of us don\u2019t, but the umpires were on top of the situation. It was a tough call to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have been at least half a dozen such cases in first-class cricket, the most recent being Zimbabwean Charles Kunje\u2019s dismissal in a Logan Cup match in 2017.<\/p>\n
