“BCCI hid Ravi Ashwin so he cannot be banned from International Cricket”: Former Pakistani Cricketer makes shocking claim

Team India will face off against New Zealand in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) Final at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton from Friday (June 18). Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is going to be one of Virat Kohli’s biggest trump cards heading into the clash – being the third-highest wicket-taker in WTC over the last couple of season.

Ahead of the final, former Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has made a sensational accusation against one of the best spinners in the world – R. Ashwin. Ajmal has now claimed that Ashwin was kept away from international cricket for six months by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ensure that he was not banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to a suspect bowling action.

Ajmal, who himself had faced a ban after the ICC had deemed his action illegal while bowling a ‘doosra’, said that while batsmen and fast bowlers have some rules in their favour, spinners have been hung out to dry, as he criticised the strict 15 degrees arm bending rule.

“You changed all these rules and regulations without asking anyone. I was playing cricket for the last eight years. All those rules were for me. That’s it,” Ajmal said in a Youtube interview with Cricwick.

“During that period, Ashwin was out from cricket for six months. Why is that? So you can work on him and your bowler doesn’t get banned,” Ajmal said. “They don’t care if a Pakistan bowler gets banned. They only care about money,” he added.

Ashwin’s clarification came as some media reports cited the off-spinner’s YouTube channel and quoted him as wanting the apex cricket body to relax the rule.

Taking to Twitter, Ashwin cited an article and replied: “Really?? Pls, don’t carry the wrong stuff!! I will never say such a thing.”

In another tweet, the spinner said: “Wrong wrong wrong!! My channel is done for all the right reasons and audience to know cricket better. If you can’t get such basic stuff right in translation, pls don’t carry such poor news.”

Ashwin has scalped 409 wickets in 78 Tests at an average of 24.69, including 30 five-wicket hauls and seven 10-wicket hauls. He is also India’s fourth-highest wicket-taker in the longest format.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
