The 35-year-old said he was entitled to bat out of his crease and play his shots before running. The umpires did not listen to him and were adamant that he was in the danger zone.

“You want me to play my shot like this,” the cricketer said as he pointed towards the side of the pitch. The umpire, in reply, told him to move while led to the world cup-winning player asking him to show the rule book then. 

“Show me in the rule book where that’s what I’ve got to do,” he said. “I won’t start until you show me.”
