Dear Anupam,
The paper below focuses on how OSTs form in the accretionary
process and shows that OSTs can be explained by reactivation of
fragments of old (and deformed) 'in-sequence' thrusts.
Miyakawa, A., Yamada, Y., Matsuoka, T., 2010, Effect of increased
friction along a plate boundary fault on the formation of an
out-of-sequence thrust and a break in surface slope within an
accretionary wedge, based on numerical simulations. Tectonophysics.
484, p. 89-99. doi:10.1016/j.tecto.2009.08.037.
hope this helps.
