In a historic and controversial moment at the Cricket World Cup, Angelo Mathews became the first international cricketer to be 'timed out' during Sri Lanka's match against Bangladesh in Delhi yesterday. Mathews, waiting for a new helmet strap, was left dismayed as Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan appealed successfully, leading to an animated debate. Former cricketers Gautam Gambhir and Dale Steyn criticized the decision, igniting a spirit of cricket debate. The incident, a first in international cricket, stirred controversy, questioning the application of the rules and the essence of fair play.
