After a gap of around 12 years, Cricket is expected to make a return at the Asian Games in Hangzhou later this year. However, India owing to its existing commitments is unlikely to participate in the tournament.  One of the other reason for Men in Blue to pull out from the Asian games is threat of injury to the players ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia in October.

Similarly, participation of the women’s team, who will compete in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in July-August, now also looks unlikely. As per reports, the Games will clash with the women’s team’s limited-overs tour of England where they are scheduled to play three ODI’s and three T20I’s.

Final decision will taken based on our existing commitments: Jay Shah

“As far as the Asian Games in Hangzhou is concerned, a final decision on whether to send both men’s and women’s teams will be taken later and based on our existing commitments,” Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah told Reuters.

Shah also emphasized on the fact that hosting India is a lucrative proposition for any board. However, the secretary also said that honouring bilateral commitment was particularly important in a post-coronavirus world.

“The BCCI has always stood by member boards and helped them in these difficult times. The board firmly believes in honouring its bilateral commitments. We are committed to our fans here in India and it is absolutely important that we safeguard our home season. The FTP that has been created needs to be adhered to,” Shah added referring to the game’s Future Tours Programme calendar.

The reluctance of the BCCI, the world’s richest cricket board, was seen as a major impediment to the game’s Olympic inclusion. “The BCCI and ICC are on the same page on this and agree that the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics is good for the growth of the game,” he added.

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.
