India offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin took a cheeky dig at England wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings over his feedback on the controversial run-out by Deepti Sharma.

Deepti Sharma pulled off a controversial run-out to dismiss Charlie Dean within the third and ultimate ODI between India and England ladies’s groups on Saturday, September 24 at Lord’s. The wicket helped India full a 3-0 clear sweep over England within the collection and gave veteran quick bowler Jhulan Goswami a becoming farewell.

When Sam Billings took to Twitter to ask teammate Jimmy Anderson what number of extra wickets he might get, Ashwin stepped in and wrote: “In fact that’s a great idea. How about awarding that wicket to the bowler for “ presence of mind” under immense pressure and of course knowing the social stigma that he/she would have to deal with post doing it. How about a bravery award to go with it too ICC?

In undeniable fact that’s an excellent concept. How about awarding that wicket to the bowler for “ presence of mind” underneath immense stress and naturally figuring out the social stigma that he/she must take care of submit doing it. How a few bravery award to go together with it too @ICC ? https://t.co/9PqqetnnGw

Billings was earlier schooled by fellow England cricketer Alex Hales over the controversial run-out at non-striker’s finish.

Billings stated: “There’s surely not a person who has played the game that thinks this is acceptable? Just not cricket. Well within the laws but not in the spirit. Just my opinion the law should be changed back to a warning system or penalty runs for excessive backing up for eg. Safe to say a few people disagree.”

He additional shared an image of the incident and added: “Not even looking at the other end in delivery stride” To this, Alex Hales replied: “It shouldn’t be difficult for the non striker to stay in their crease til the ball has left the hand”

On September 20, the ICC introduced adjustments to Playing Conditions of the controversial run-out, which is able to come into impact on October 1. On operating out of non-striker, the ICC stated: “The Playing Conditions follow the Laws in moving this method of effecting a run out from the ‘Unfair Play’ section to the ‘Run out’ section.”
