During a match against Netherlands at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, England player Chris Woakes noticed an issue with his helmet and promptly informed the umpire before the opposing team could appeal. This quick thinking potentially saved the team from facing a controversial 'timed out' dismissal, similar to the one experienced by former Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews in a previous match. Woakes' actions show that players have learnt from the incident and are taking precautions to avoid a repeat scenario. As the picture of the incident goes viral, it serves as a reminder of the controversial 'timed out' rule in international cricket.
