Never liked it, IMO it should be left to the umpire to issue a warning ala bowlers running on the pitch. Fielding team can politely point it out to the ump as the batters are obviously gaining an advantage, but can't run them out.
Would need the laws of the game amending though, as apart from the example in the OP, it seems the 'not in the spirit of cricket' mantra has gone out the window and its more widespread these days.

Think it’s been pointed out on here before, but the simple way to stop the non striking batsmen standing outside their ground is for the umpires to call the run short.

That’s way too much for the umpire to be looking at when the bowler is about to bowl though. How can they look for that and no balls and then adjust their sight to concentrate on whatever happens after that.
Could happen at the highest level where the third umpire can keep an eye on it, but not for any levels underneath that.
At lower levels it would have to be obvious, but it's a similar situation with no balls. Basically if either the bowler or the batsman is taking the piss, it'll be obvious and the umpire can call it.
At elite level, have the 3rd umpire call it.
The one in the womens match against India was one of the most minging things I’ve ever seen in the sport

No chance he’d of withdrew that if Sri Lanka needed 4 runs to win.

Top level it’s an absolute no brainer and in all honesty mankad has never been anymore than a top level Indian cricket issue.
That type of mankad should fall under similar rules to fake fielding. Dean wasn’t exactly early out of her crease, the bowler was a good way through her action.
Totally different to when the batsman is half way in the stands before the bowler has reached the line.
