India’s campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup ended with a 9-wicket victory against Namibia on Monday, November 8 in their last group stage game, with the Men-in-Blue failing to qualify any further. There have been many criticisms around their short-lived campaign. Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull has now come up with some harsh comments about the scheduling of the India matches in the tournament. In a show on Cricbuzz, Doull blamed the broadcaster’s arrogance for India’s poor scheduling.

ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Simon Doull Blames Broadcaster’s Arrogance For India’s Poor Scheduling

According to Doull, since the broadcasters wanted to keep the important games of India on Holidays, India had to play their matches with a poor schedule. Doull believes that there was a real air of arrogance around the scheduling and that is what the broadcasters wanted with involvement from the ICC as they wanted India’s fixtures around the holidays around Diwali and Sundays to have India’s games at peak times.

Doull feels that India’s first game was rightly decided to be against Pakistan, but the New Zealand game should have come after India had faced Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia. It would have also made it interesting as this clash could have been potentially a knockout game to enter the semis.

India started their campaign against Pakistan on Sunday, October 24, and then had a week’s gap before their second game also on Sunday, October 31. India then played their third game against Afghanistan on the eve of Diwali, also known as ‘Chhoti (small) Diwali’ for many.

India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik was also on the show and opined that in hindsight, India would be hoping that the last three games that they won with huge margins should have been their first three.

The final game against Namibia was also Virat Kohli as India’s captain in the shortest format of the game, who had announced to quit T20 captaincy after the World Cup.

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.
