Sri Lankan batsman, Angelo Mathews, was officially ruled 'timed out' at the 2023 Cricket World Cup on Monday, making him the first player in international cricket history to be 'timed out'. The incident happened in the 25th over when he was bowled by Bangladesh's Shakib al Hasan on the second ball.


There was a moment of confusion as Mathews realized that he had mistakenly brought the wrong helmet. Mathews then argued his point to the Bangladesh players and to the umpire.
