England’s Charlie Dean said she would “never” run out an opposition player with the controversial ‘Mankad’ move that ended her innings and Saturday’s one-day international against India.
The moment has led to widespread debate about sporting integrity and conduct.
“I think, myself I’d never do that,” Dean told BBC Radio Solent.
“It was a tough day [on Saturday], for sure. I think you can tell that I still haven’t quite gotten over it.”
England had needed 17 runs, with one wicket left, to win the final game of the series, with Dean on 47 and the match set for a tense finish. Her dismissal sealed a 3-0 win for India.
The mode of dismissal by Sharma is often referred to as a ‘Mankad’, after Indian batter Vinoo Mankad, who was the first player to enact the type of run out in a Test match.
Although England were aggrieved, the taking of the wicket is within the laws of the game but seen by many as against the spirit of cricket.
