Scared Of Being Timed Out? Abrar Ahmed Rushes In To Bat Half-Ready, Leaves Shakib al Hasan In Splits- WATCH

10 Months Later, Time-Out Fear Still Persists! Abrar Ahmed Rushes In To Bat Half-Ready, Leaves Shakib al Hasan In Splits- WATCH Photo : Twitter

One will never forget how Bangladesh's skipper Shakib al Hasan timed out Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews during their ODI World Cup encounter last year. It was the hottest topic of debate back then but as per the rules, Mathews was given out since he didn't check his faulty helmet before coming in and fixing it on the ground meant he had taken more than three minutes since the previous dismissal.

Although Shakib had the option of taking back the appeal, he didn't and Mathews was given out. Ten months have passed but it seems like the fear persists in cricketing circles.

On Monday, Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed was seen hobbling into the ground in a hurry even though he wasn't entirely ready and was seen putting on his gloves and adjusting his helmet on the way. Watch the video here:

After Litton Das (138) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (78) took Bangladesh to 262 from 26/6 in reply to Pakistan's first-innings score of 274, Bangladesh bowlers continued to script their brilliant turnaround.

Pakistan were skittled out for a paltry 172 in the second innings, thanks to the pace of Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana, who shared nine wickets between them. The other wicket was picked by Taskin Ahmed, the first instance of Bangladesh picking all 10 wickets in an innings.

Abrar, after coming in a hurry, lasted for just 12 deliveries, scoring just two runs off them.

At lunch on the final day of the two-Test series between Bangladesh and Pakistan, the visitors moved within 63 runs of a rare Test series sweep as it pursued consecutive wins against Pakistan.

Bangladesh notched an epic 10-wicket victory over the hosts in the first Test and reached 122/2 at lunch on the final day, chasing 185 to win the second Test.

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto is batting on 34 and Mominul Haque is on 20.
