‘If I get a chance, I would like to finish IPL campaign’: NZ pacer Trent Boult on playing IPL 2021

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced that it will look to complete the remainder of the IPL 2021 season in the UAE during a September-October window. This though will be a herculean task as the board will have to figure out the logistics of not just Indian players but that of foreign players as well.

While the availability of these players is subject to permission from the respective national boards of the other countries, a few star overseas players have already shown interest in playing in the middle-east.

Mumbai Indians star paceman Trent Boult, who will be facing England in a Test series soon before taking on India in the World Test Championship while turning out for New Zealand, is very keen to complete the remainder of the tournament in UAE, where he led MI to victory in the 2020 season.

“It was differently different to play half of the tournament. Looks like it is moving forward to the UAE, it was held very nicely last year there,” Boult said in a virtual press conference.

“If I’ll get a chance, I’ll be looking forward to finish that campaign off myself,” he added.

The IPL 2021 was suspended in May as BCCI didn’t want to compromise on the safety of the players, support staff, and the other participants involved in organising the tournament with an eye on the Covid-19 situation.

Boult admitted that things escalated quite quickly last month but the pacer was grateful to feature in the IPL 2021 before it was suspended.

“I suppose things obviously escalated pretty quickly over there. I made the decision to come home and get a bit of time with family,” said Boult.

“Very grateful in the first place to be involved in the IPL to get an opportunity to play on that stage. What happened was very unfortunate, I’m glad that I got out safely and can move forward now.”

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.
