After Ravichandran Ashwin suggested that India all-rounder Deepti Sharma showed "presence of mind" in mankading England's Charlotte Dean, Muttiah Muralitharan said, "What presence of mind?" He added, "No cricketer would play international matches if he or she has no presence of mind." Muralitharan said Deepti should have warned the non-striker first. Deepti recently said they had warned Dean.
