Because, Chittagong Kings have already added two players to the team through direct contracts. That's when some people may have remembered the incident in Delhi last November. After seeing the 20-member player list of Chittagong Kings after the players' draft yesterday, some may have gone back to that afternoon in Delhi. Shakib Al Hasan, Angelo Mathews... Wow, what else is needed!
"If someone puts thorns in your path, scatter flowers in their path," is the saying of the wise. Shakib had placed 'thorns' of intelligence and timing on the path of Mathews' arrival in Delhi. Mathews got stuck in them and could not go to the crease.
Later, there was so much debate and talk about it! The rule books were also opened and looked at. It was learned that Shakib had 'stabbed' Mathews from within the rules. The literacy rate among Sri Lankans is almost 100%. However, no instrument has yet been invented to determine how vindictive a nation is. So, although it is impossible to say how much this trend is among Sri Lankans, it can be guessed by looking at the pictures. After visiting Bangladesh in March this year and winning the T20 series
Even the Sri Lankans understand that the picture was not very pleasing to the eye. The Sri Lankans can thank Kings for that. Because Shakib will now have to spread 'flowers' in the path of Mathews!
Although it is not entirely true, it is not a far-fetched idea. Kings have brought both of them into the team. That is, Shakib and Mathews will play as teammates in the BPL starting from December 30. Since they are teammates, Shakib does not get the opportunity to 'time out' Mathews in the BPL. On the contrary, if Mathews is a victim of something like this, Shakib will have to speak up for him. Not only that, Shakib can also think of some things in advance if he wants.
Shakib and Mathews - both are all-rounders. The batting positions will also be close. That is, the possibility of both of them batting together is very high. So, Shakib can carry an extra helmet strap in his pocket if he gets out before him. Because, since Mathews will get out later, he may need it. Or, after Shakib is at the crease and the batsman on the other end is out, he can run a little forward (of course, he must stay within the boundaries of the field) and call Mathews, 'Matthews, Mathews, call, there is not much (time) left for the timed out!'
Sri Lanka batted first in that ODI World Cup match on November 6, 2023. Mathews came on the field as the new batsman after Sadira Samarawickrama was dismissed in 24.2 overs bowled by captain Shakib. Standing at the crease, he realized that there was a problem with the strap (ribbon) of his helmet, possibly torn. He pointed to the dressing room for a new helmet. There was some delay in bringing a new helmet through an additional player. Then Bangladesh captain Shakib requested Mathews to be 'timed out'. As it was legal, the on-field umpire accepted the request and declared Mathews out. New history and controversy were born.
Mathews was the first batsman to be 'timed out' in international cricket, and the cricketing world was divided over the 'spirit of the game'. That is, there was division over whether Shakib's behaviour was sportsmanlike or not.
But now is not the time to divide, it is time to work together and 'time out' the opponent. Since Mathews is the first batsman to be 'timed out' in international cricket, and Shakib is also the first captain (cricketer) to successfully request this out - who knows better than Shakib-Mathews how 'timed out' happens or when to request this out! In other words, it is not surprising to see these two cricketers together in the BPL to time out the opponent. The Sri Lankans will also find peace if they see something like this.
