What is time out in cricket? Angel Mathews’ controversial dismissal explained

Expired dismissal time in cricket: There are ten methods of dismissal in cricket. Some are common, such as toss, caught and leg before the wicket, while others are obscure, such as pull and strike. However, there is one way of canceling, which until now has only served as a rule on paper.

It has never been followed, as there have only been 6 occasions for this to happen in first-class cricket and none in international cricket. This rule we are referring to is the “Time Out” firing method. Check here the meaning and technical aspect of the door loss car expiry rule.

What is time out in cricket? Angel Mathews’ controversial firing EXPLAINED

No famous batsman has ever lost a wicket due to a time out and the first instance of this bizarre dismissal happened on cricket’s biggest stage – the 2023 ODI World Cup.

In match 38 between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Angel Mathews (SL) took too long to be ready to face the ball. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan complained about this and Mathews was given out by the umpire.

According to ICC rules, if a player takes longer than the allotted time (usually 2 or 3 minutes) to take up his position on the field after the fall of a wicket, he may lose his wicket by being given a time out. No bowler is given credit for a wicket.

You often see players fully clothed and running onto the field after the wicket falls just because of this rule.

What happened to Angel Mathews in the SL vs BAN World Cup match? Why did he time out?

  • According to ICC rules, the incoming batsman has 3 minutes (2 minutes in ODI World Cup 2023) to walk to the field and be ready to bat. If he does not fulfill the request, he will be given a time out.
  • In the World Cup match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, SL’s Angelo Mathews faced helmet problems and ran out of time limit.
  • Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan complained about this, resulting in the umpire giving Angel Mathews the go.
  • Mathews lost his wicket without facing a single ball and the incident created a storm in the cricketing world.

How many times has Timed Out been used in the history of cricket?

Until November 2023, there have been only six instances of time-out wickets in cricket. All 6 happened in First Class cricket and none in Test, ODI or T20I cricket. Angelo Mathews made history with his bizarre dismissal when he became the first player in international cricket to be dismissed for time-out, even though he had the right reasons as his helmet strap broke. But rules are rules in the eyes of match officials.
