Mankading Officially Classified as Run-Out Under Law 38.3 — MCC 2026
MCC / All Cricket
1 May 2026
The 2026 edition of the MCC Laws of Cricket formalises a long-debated administrative reclassification: Mankading — running out the non-striker for backing up before the bowler has released the ball — is now officially classified as a run-out under Law 38.3. The reclassification removes the dismissal from cricket's "unfair play" implications and treats it as the routine procedural dismissal it has always been technically.
