An incoming batsman must be ready to face a ball (or be at the crease with his partner ready to face a ball) within ---- minutes of the outgoing batsman being dismissed, otherwise the incoming batsman will be timed out.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
In cricket, Law 25 states that the incoming batsman must be ready to face the ball within 2 minutes of the previous wicket falling in Test matches. This time limit ensures the game flows smoothly without unnecessary delays. While some limited-overs formats allow 3 minutes, 2 minutes is the standard Test cricket rule.
