Angelo Mathews becomes 1st cricketer to be dismissed by timed-out against Bangladesh

Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews scripted an unwanted record as he became the first ever batter to be timed out in the history of international cricket during the World Cup 2023 group match against Bangladesh in New Delhi. The strap of Mathews’ helmet broke as he walked to bat and the Sri Lankan all-rounder wanted it to be changed, and out came the other one. While he waited for a replacement, Shakib filed an appeal, and Mathews was given out. There was little the umpires could do once Shakib opted to support the verdict.
