MCC issues statement on Salman Agha run-out controversy in Bangladesh vs Pakistan ODI

5 min readUpdated: Mar 18, 2026 04:05 PM IST The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), which maintains the laws that govern professional cricket, issued a clarification on Wednesday after Pakistan batter Salman Ali Agha’s controversial run out by Bangladesh skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz during the 2nd ODI between both sides in Dhaka sparked debate over the spirit of cricket. MCC released a statement that reads: “Under Laws, there is little that either umpire could have done differently. The non-striker was clearly out of his ground when the wicket was broken, and the ball was in play. That is out.” “It is also worth pointing out that the non-striker had left his ground when the ball was in play and had just started to attempt to regain his ground when he collided with Mehidy. Furthermore, no batter should attempt to pick the ball up without the consent of the fielding side, and had he done so, he would have been at risk of an Obstructing the field dismissal. In retrospect, he would have been better using that …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 14, 2026 11:56 AM IST Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha’s dismissal during the second ODI against Bangladesh in Mirpur has ended up drawing far more reactions than the match itself. Agha was run out by his Bangladesh counterpart Mehidy Hasan Miraz in a rather peculiar fashion, with the impact of the incident exacerbated by the fact that it had brought to an end a seemingly chanceless 109-run partnership between him and Mohammad Rizwan. It remained Pakistan’s best partnership of the match and Agha had to walk back on 64 off 62 balls. The 32-year-old has found support in former India batsman Mohammad Kaif, who said on his X handle that kids should never do what Miraz did. “This is so not done. No desperation of getting wickets can justify this run out. That too from a captain. Youngsters please remember, even if the World Cup final is on the line never do what the Bangladesh skipper did. Sports without fair play is no sports,” said Kaif. This is so not done. …

The batter Salman Agha has broken his silence on his controversial run-out during the second ODI in the Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2026 on March 12. Agha was dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, which led to an on-field spat between the batter and Bangladesh players. After the game, Salman Agha said that he would have done things differently and gone for sportsman’s spirit. The incident unfolded in the 39th over as Pakistan were building a steady partnership between Agha and Mohammad Rizwan after Bangladesh chose to bowl first. Rizwan nudged the fourth delivery to the bowler’s right, where Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz moved across in his follow-through and stopped the ball with his boot, colliding with Agha at the non-striker’s end. With the ball stopped near them, Agha was outside the crease where he tended to bend down and pick the ball and hand it back to Mehidy Hasan. However, Miraz quickly picked the ball and hit the stumps at the non-striker end while Agha was still short of the ground. Mehidy Hasan appealed …

It was deemed not out after the appeal went upstairs however, there was still confusion as to whether the not-out decision was in effect because of the technical rules or was it because the LSG skipper Rishabh Pant withdrew the appeal when asked by the on-field umpires.

Who is Carl Hopkinson – the silent working fielding coach behind Mumbai Indians’ runout hat-trick and Ryan Rickelton’s stellar glovework?

Having lifted England’s fielding standards from doldrums while taking them to two white ball trophies, the 2019 50 over World Cup and 2021 T20 win, 43-year-old Carl Hopkinson had a stellar run as their specialist fielding coach. But when ECB let him go after the West Indies tour, he was quickly snapped up by Mumbai Indians. MI hadn’t quite set any stage on fire until on Sunday with slim win pickings, and we’re careening towards a defeat with Karun Nair going hammer and tongs for a 40 ball-89 as Delhi pursued 206. Defensive spinners, as Mitchell Santner explained, would find eventual success, as Nair, Tristan Stubbs, KL Rahul and Ashutosh Sharma were packed off to the pavilion, with each capable of being dangerous. However Delhi were just 26 runs away when Vipraj Nigam departed. To clean up the bottom order, with Ashutosh taking Capitals to 192/7, needed a sprinkling of magic. And it was made possible by MI’s fielding unit, as Will Jacks started the wondrous hat-trick show. Story continues below this ad A quick …

Champions Trophy: Australia captain Steve Smith urges umpire to withdraw run-out appeal after Josh Inglis-Noor Ahmad incident | Cricket News

Australia captain Steve Smith made a sportive gesture on the field during his team’s high-stakes Champions Trophy group B clash against Afghanistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday. With Afghanistan forging a late lower-order comeback to move up towards a respectable total after opting to bat first, wicket-keeper Josh Inglis had the opportunity to appeal for the ninth wicket at the end of the 47th over bowled by seamer Nathan Ellis. With half-centurion Azmatullah Omarzai slapping a slower delivery to the mid-wicket fielder to retain a single, his partner Noor Ahmad was quick to leave the crease at the striker’s end in the assumption that the over had to come to a close. FOLLOW: AUS vs AFG LIVE SCORE However, wicket-keeper Inglis had already gathered the ball and flicked the bails as Ahmad began to drift out from the batting crease for a change of ends after the over. While Inglis and Australia could have appealed for a re-look from the umpires for a potential run-out incident, Australia skipper Smith immediately intervened to …

Mumbai Indians Look To Put Run-Out Controversy Behind Against Gujarat Giants

Published by Webster

Gujarat Giants will seek more runs from their top-order to extend their belligerent run with the bat while Mumbai Indians will look to hit their strides after a tough opener in the Women’s Premier League in Vadodara on Tuesday. Gujarat Giants, who finished last in the previous two seasons, seem to have fix their batting woes with Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner doing the heavy lifting in the first two games. Beth Mooney has scored a fifty at the top of the order but her opening partner Laura Wolvaardt is yet to come good. Giants amassed 201 in their opening game but still lost before Gardner ensured they gunned down a 144-run target rather comfortably. The pressure is increasing on the Indian batters to deliver especially number three D Hemalatha. With the ball as well, captain Gardner has led from the front and has got good support from leg-break bowler Priya Mishra. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, would like to put the controversy over multiple run-outs in their tournament opener behind when they …

“Really Hard When…”: MI Coach’s Remarks On WPL Run-Out Controversy Adds Fuel To Fire

Published by Webster

Taking a dig at the controversial run-out decisions that played a big role in her team’s last-ball, two-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians coach Charlotte Edwards said it was “really hard” to comprehend such calls that affect the eventual outcome of the match. Three controversial run-out decisions sparked a debate as Delhi Capitals edged past MI in a WPL match on Saturday, raising concerns over the interpretation of the LED stump rules. Third umpire Gayathri Venugopalan ruled three DC batters — Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy and Shikha Pandey — not out, seemingly disregarding the moment the LED stumps first lit up after the ball made initial contact with the wickets. “You’ve got to stay pretty calm. It is really hard when there are many decisions to go to the third umpire. The result of the game is looking at the big screen,” said Edwards, the two-time World Cup-winning England skipper, after MI’s narrow defeat. “It’s pretty hard. I’ve played the game and been around the game to know…it’s the game and we …
