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.

Vinoo Mankad's All-Round Tour of Australia — 1947-48

India v Australia

1948-02-06

Vinoo Mankad's first overseas tour was a masterclass of all-round cricket. On the 1947-48 tour of Australia he scored 583 Test runs at 44.84 (centuries in the third and fifth Tests at Melbourne, 116 and 111), took 17 Test wickets with his slow left-arm, ran out Bill Brown twice for backing up too far at the non-striker's end — coining the now-famous term 'Mankading' — and finished with over 1,400 first-class runs and 50 wickets across the trip.
