Question

In a cricket match, a wicket falls, and the next batsman in does not reach the crease in time. What will be the decision of the umpire?

Answer 1

After a wicket falls or a batsman retires, the incoming batsman must be ready to take guard, or the other batsman must be ready to face the next ball, within three minutes, unless Time has been called. If this condition is not fulfilled, the incoming batsman is declared out due to being timed out.
