Mankading remains a hugely controversial mode of dismissal in cricket and the MCC 's recent decision to classify it as 'fair' has once again sparked debate.
The MCC, who are the custodians of the laws of cricket, have announced that Mankading will be moved from the "unfair play" section to the "run out" section.
Fraser Stewart, the MCC Laws Manager, explained the decision, saying: "It is a run-out but it has always been in the unfair play law and we questioned 'why is it unfair?'
