Another team member moved outside the baseline on the other side of the goal, received the “inbound” pass and dribbled onto the court.
This is illegal.
Take a look at this video. You will see the following:
A Georgia Tech player makes a 3-pointer with 11.7 seconds remaining in the second half.
A UConn player goes out of bounds, and picks up the ball to ...

Charging
Clipping

I think the rules relevant to your question are under 27.3 and 27.4 of the MCC rules here.
What I take from those is that:
the wicketkeeper must remain behind the stumps until the ball strikes the striker or bat, passes the stumps, or the striker attempts to run. If this rule is broken, a no ball is called.
