Angelo Mathews' Bizzare dismissal explained

Sri Lanka batsman Angelo Mathews has become the first batter in international cricket history to be timed out. During their match against Bangladesh in Delhi, Mathews was given out by the umpire after he failed to come to the crease in three minutes following the dismissal of his teammate Sadeera Samarawickrama. A batsman is required to be ready to face the ball within two minutes of the fall of a wicket and Matthews was clearly not set. Mathews was given out without facing a ball.

Following the dismissal Shakib Al Hasan faced backlash for his appeal and many questioned his approach
