Published by Parlour News

3 min readKochiApr 28, 2026 02:20 PM IST “Mone, Angelo (Dear Angelo)…” The four-year-old was startled by the unprecedented experience. Not just because someone was calling out to him, but because this was the first time he had heard a voice in his small life. As the person continued speaking, a smile appeared on Angelo’s face. He knew that man; he had seen his face in many places. It was Mammootty. After four years of a life surrounded by silence, Angelo can finally start hearing from now on, as his cochlear implantation surgery is complete and successful. The multi-lakh process was accomplished with assistance from the Kaathodu Kaathoram cochlear implantation programme, launched by the Care and Share International Foundation, founded by Mammootty, in association with Rajagiri Hospital in Aluva. Angelo was the first beneficiary of the scheme, introduced to help children with hearing impairments hailing from financially disadvantaged families.

During the ODI World Cup 2023, a dismissal of Sri Lanka’s Angelo mathews snowballed into a major controversy. The fashion in which the former Sri Lanka skipper was dismissed was the reason behind it. Angelo Mathews was ruled ‘timed out’ during his team’s crucial clash against Bangladesh. The incident happened on the second ball of the 25th over, bowled by Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan. Sadeera Samarawickrama had just been dismissed and Angelo Mathews arrived at the crease at the fall of the fourth wicket. But soon there was confusion as Mathews realised that he had brought the wrong helmet and pleaded his case with the Bangladesh players and the umpires. The visuals showed that he was indicating that the helmet strap had come off. The damage had, however, been done by then. The substitute player of the Sri Lanka team did run with the correct helmet. But by then, Bangladesh had already appealed for a ‘timed out’. Angelo Mathews, quite animatedly, pleaded with the umpires and Shakib al Hasan but the appeal was not …
