MCC issues clarification after controversy over Akash Deep's dismissal of Joe Root
MCC has issued clarification after controversy erupted over Akash Deep's dismissal of Joe Root in Edgbaston Test. Several people claimed the delivery was backfoot no-ball. MCC called it legal, saying, "Clearly...at the point Deep's foot first touched...ground, the back foot was within and not touching the return crease." Foot outside crease later isn't relevant to the law, it stated.
