Nepal's cricket team has apologised following the 'timed out' dismissal of a Bhutan batter during a Women's Premier Cup match. The incident occurred under the legal provisions of cricket rules, which allow a batter to be dismissed if they fail to be ready for play within the specified time after a wicket falls.
The move, while within the regulations, has sparked controversy due to its rarity and perceived sportsmanship concerns. Nepal's team acknowledged the backlash and issued an apology, expressing regret over the incident and its impact on the spirit of the game.
