- During the World Cup 2023 group match against Bangladesh, Angelo Mathews created an unwanted record by becoming the first batsman to be timed out in the history of international cricket.
- When Mathews came to bat, the strap of his helmet broke and the Sri Lankan all-rounder tried to replace it.
- While he was waiting for his helmet to be replaced, Bangladesh captain Shakib filed an appeal and Mathews was given out.
- As per the playing conditions of the ICC World Cup 2023, after the fall of the wicket or retirement of the batsman, the incoming batsman has to face his next ball within 2 minutes.
- If this requirement is not met, the incoming batter will time out.
