A few days back, speaking on his YouTube channel, ace India off-spinner R Ashwin had said that a batsman should be adjudged LBW even if the ball is pitched outside leg stump if they are playing the switch hit.

As per the current laws, a batter cannot be ruled out LBW if the ball pitches outside the leg, even if it hits the stumps. Now, former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris has countered Ashwin’s view by calling for a ban on the switch hit itself.
