Since Deepti Sharma ran Charlie Dean out to seal India’s 3-0 ODI series win in England. The mode of dismissal has been a source of contention. Moeen Ali, England’s vice-captain in white-ball cricket, suggested that the dismissal be made illegal. As well as other solutions to the problem of batters stealing ground.

“No, it’s not my forte. I don’t think I’d do it unless I was really mad at someone.” The Telegraph quoted Moeen Ali as saying.
“It’s in the laws, and there’s nothing illegal about it, so people who do it have the right to do it,” he said. “I just hope it doesn’t become a common thing, or something that’s regularly done.”
“You’re not working hard enough to get a wicket. At the very least, there is some work to be done with a run-out, as well as with all the other dismissals. This is simply waiting for the guy and removing the bails. Even though I used to play cricket in the garden as a kid, it’s not my thing “Moeen elaborated.
“To be fair, you should be in your crease anyway, but it’s a difficult one. You don’t really pay attention to the bowlers. You think they’re there and about to bowl, but if they stop, your momentum can carry you out of your crease “He elaborated.
“I actually think they should fire them,” he said of the dismissal.
“We were discussing this the other day, how would you do it, because guys would then (pinch ground), but there should be a line where you can’t go past and you know how the umpires look for no-balls, they could potentially do the same for that and say, right, he’s got one more, he’s gone,” he suggested.
