The controversy around Salman Ali Agha's runout during the second ODI match between Pakistan and Bangladesh has taken a fresh turn, with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) finally breaking its silence on the matter. However, the MCC also added that Bangladesh could have chosen to withdraw the appeal in the spirit of cricket. Mohammad Rizwan played a shot, but it went to the non-striker batter, Salman Ali Agha. There was no question of a serious injury, so there could be no call of Dead ball for that. And it cannot have been finally settled in the hands of the bowler or wicket-keeper, since it was on the ground,'' MCC added.
