What do the laws of cricket say? According to the MCC Laws of Cricket Article 31.7, “an referee will intervene if he is satisfied that a batter, which was not published, left the wicket under the wrong dissolution of the referee who intervened and would indicate the dead ball to give a further action through the field and remember the batter. Case it must be up to the moment when the referees leave the field. “In this case, instead of waiting Kishan and seeing if he’s not there, the referee on the field raises his finger.
