MCC Confirms Akash Deep’s Delivery to Joe Root Was Legal

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has officially confirmed that Akash Deep’s delivery that bowled Joe Root during the Edgbaston Test was entirely legal. Despite debates over the legality due to initial footage, MCC clarified that what matters is where the front foot lands first. If any part of the foot touches the ground behind the line initially, the delivery is legal—even if the foot slides over later. Akash Deep’s dismissal of Root sparked controversy, but the law is clear, and no breach occurred. For more match clarity and verified cricket updates, visit https://cricketbettingtips.org/
