Don't expect the White Ferns to run players out with a 'Mankad' while Sophie Devine is in charge.
On Sunday (NZ time), India's Deepti Sharma dismissed England's Charlie Dean with the controversial runout, whereby the bowler removes the bails in delivery stride as a batter prematurely leaves their ground to steal a run.
While completely legal within the rules, the mode of dismissal is widely considered against the spirit of the game.
Originally named after India's Vinoo Mankad, compatriots Ravichandran Ashwin and now Sharma have become its modern-day advocates, with the latest controversy a sign of things to come, as the ICC legitamises the practise in new rule adjustments this weekend.
White Ferns captain Devine insists the Mankad won't be used by her team any time soon, but accepts the right for other teams to do so.
"It's not something that I'd probably do in the teams that I lead," Devine said. "But you've got to look at it for what it is - a legitimate dismissal.
"Fairplay to India and Deepti Sharma for going with it, but for me personally, it certainly isn't something I'd look to uphold appeals in that way.
"It's always going to spark a bit of debate, particularly in that match - Jhulan Goswami's last ODI game - and I guess the way the match was poised.
"It's always going to be a fiercely debated topic."
Devine also commended both teams for their handling of the situation, as the dismissal sealed India's 16-run victory over England and completed a 3-0 series sweep.
"I think it's more in the context of that game. It was really nicely poised and it would have been cool to see it go the whole distance," she said.
"England fought really well to get back and then to have that sort of dismissal - whether it took the edge off it or not - it's hard to say, because it's well within the rules.
"I think you've got to applaud both teams in terms of the way they handled it. I think Harmanpreet Kaur, as captain, backed up her players, which is all you can really ask.
"Llikewise, the England players were respectful and obviously devastated with the way the match ended, but again, it's in the rules of cricket.
"It will be something that's going to draw out a fair bit of conversation within teams, but also within the cricketing public."
