The family of Indian cricket legend Vinoo Mankad is split over the use of his name to refer to the controversial dismissal of running out a non-striker while they are backing up.
The dismissal became widely known as a Mankad after Vinoo ran out Australian batter Bill Brown at the non-striker's end during a 1948 Test match in what is thought to be the first known instance of the dismissal being used in international cricket.
Despite it being a legal dismissal, it remains a polarising issue with some players believing it to be against the spirit of the game and both the Australian Cricketers Association and Cricket New South Wales have called for the term Mankad to no longer be used out of respect for the family.
