MCC rules Litchfield dismissal in Hundred final should have been dead ball

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has stated that the dismissal of batter Nat Litchfield during The Hundred final should have been called a dead ball. The ruling body of cricket's laws determined that a fielder's movement during the bowler's run-up violated the batter's right to know fielding positions. MCC specifically cited Adams' repositioning mid-run-up as a clear breach of this established right. Under the laws of cricket, any such deceptive movement by a fielder before delivery should render the ball dead and the dismissal void.
