The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), considered the custodian of cricket laws, has made a U-turn on R Ashwin's 'Mankading' of Jos Buttler in an IPL match, saying it found the Indian's action against the spirit of the game after a review.

The MCC had earlier backed Ashwin's right to run out Buttler at the non-striker's end without a warning on his bowling stride. But has changed its position within a day of its original statement.
