Watch: Rahkeem Cornwall was run out in bizarre circumstances after jogging to his crease and not attempting to get back to safety despite a misfield during the 2023 Caribbean Premier League.

Opening the batting for Barbados Royals, who were chasing 202 in their first game of the season against St. Lucia Kings, Cornwall was out on the first legal ball of the innings after a lazy run that saw him well out of the crease at the non-striker’s end.

Matthew Forde, who started with a wide, bowled to striker Cornwall’s pads, who sent it away to Matthew Sole, the fielder at short fine. Sole fumbled as the ball deflected off his palm but he recovered in time, collected the ball and threw it at the non-striker’s end.

Cornwall was left stranded after failing to make any attempts to make it back in time, which earned him the criticism of the commentators. Danny Morrison was quick to point out his lack of effort, saying, “Brother, you’ve got to slip it into second gear at least. The concrete shoes and all, but mate, put the hammer down.”

Barbados went onto lose the game by 54 runs after getting bowled out for 147.
