'No warnings were given': Heather Knight on Deepti Sharma-Charlotte Dean run-out controversy

England women’s cricket team captain Heather Knight on Monday hit back at the India women’s cricket team, saying that India spinner Deepti Sharma should not be ‘lying’ regarding warnings given to England’s Charlotte Dean.

The third ODI between England and India at Lord’s on Saturday was marred by controversy when Deepti Sharma ran-out Charlotte Dean at the non-strikers’ end for backing up too early. On her return to India on Monday, the Indian spinner claimed that enough warning was given to England before she ran Dean out.

Knight, who missed out on the series against India owing to an injury, took to Twitter to refute such claims, saying ‘no warnings were given’.

“1/2 The game is over, Charlie was dismissed legitimately. India were deserved winners of the match and the series. But no warnings were given. They don’t need to be given, so it hasn’t made the dismissal any less legitimate… “.

“2/2 But if they’re comfortable with the decision to affect the run out, India shouldn’t feel the need to justify it by lying about warnings,” tweeted Heather Knight.
