In what might bring a smile to the faces of thousands of cricket fans in the country, the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) is mulling holding the remaining season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ahead of the T20I World Cup.

Here it is noteworthy to mention that the 13th edition of the IPL was also organised in the UAE from October to November due to the COVID-19 crisis in India.

According to a report by The Times of India, the BCCI is planning to hold phase 2 of IPL in September and October this year. The report, quoting sources, claimed that a final announcement will be made on May 29 after the special general meeting.

The report claimed that the BCCI will request England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to reduce the “extra gap” between the five-match Test series to accommodate the remainder of the IPL. However, it said that even if ECB doesn’t agree to changes, the BCCI will have 30 days to hold the remaining 31 games of the season.

“This window has four weekends available, which means a total of eight Saturdays and Sundays for double-headers, that can accommodate 16 matches. That will leave the BCCI with 11 matches to be held in 19 days. That’s a week extra,” The Times of India quoted sources as saying.

This year’s IPL was suspended after several COVID-19 cases were reported in bio-bubbles. Later, BCCI officials had said that the board is trying to accommodate the rest of the game of the cash-rich league.

However, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly  had confirmed that the remaining games won’t be held in India, saying it is difficult to maintain the bio-bubbles in the country.

“We would have completed the IPL. The players were in the bubble and there were no crowds at the venues. Players were not getting infected. Once the players got affected, we called it off,” Ganguly had said.

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.
