The dreaded coronavirus has hit the Indian cricket team ahead of next month’s Test series against England, starting August 4 in Nottingham.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and throwdown specialist Dayanand Garani has tested positive for Covid-19. At the same time, three others, including bowling coach Bharat Arun, Wriddhiman Saha, and Abhimanyu Easwaran are in self-isolation.

Team India will begin their preparations for the upcoming five-match Test series against England with a three-day warm-up game at Emirates Riverside against County XI starting on Tuesday.

With Pant and Saha in isolation, the only option left with Team India would be to field KL Rahul as the keeper.

However, Dinesh Karthik, who is in England too as a part of the broadcast team, has hinted that he can keep the wickets, too if given a chance. Karthik took to Twitter and subtly send a gentle reminder to the BCCI team management that he is ready for the role.

The rest of the squad, sans Pant and the injured Shubman Gill, left for Durham from London.

Gill had sustained a leg injury earlier this month and the young batsman had left the team’s bio-bubble.

The development comes close on the heels of BCCI secretary Jay Shah sending an e-mail to the Indian contingent, warning it about the rising cases of Covid-19 in the United Kingdom.

Shah, in his letter, told the players to “avoid” crowded places as Covishield, the vaccine which has been given to the team only provides protection, not full immunity against the virus.

In fact, Shah’s letter had specifically stated that players should avoid going to the Wimbledon and Euro Championships, both of which recently concluded there.The England team was recently hit by the virus and was forced to field an altogether different XI in a limited-overs match against Pakistan.

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.
