Under ICC playing conditions for international cricket, how many minutes does an incoming batter have to be ready to face a ball after the fall of a wicket, before risking being given 'timed out'?

Answer Explanation

While the MCC Laws of Cricket generally allow 3 minutes, ICC playing conditions for international matches reduce this to 2 minutes — the limit that was applied when Angelo Mathews was timed out at the 2023 ODI World Cup.
