‘Team England needs an all rounder like Ravindra Jadeja’: Former English Player Kevin Peterson

The two-match Test series between England and New Zealand is starting on Wednesday at the Lord’s cricket ground. While New Zealand will see the series as a warm up before the World Test Championship Final on June 18, the English team is scheduled to host India for a five-match red ball series later in August.

However, on the eve of the series, former England batsman Kevin Peterson has advised the team to start looking for their own Ravindra Jadeja before they venture for the India series and then the Ashes against Australia in winters.

 

Calling Jadeja an “absolute superstar”, Peterson in a blog post said England must find an all-rounder like him who is a left-arm spinner while being good with the bat too.

“It frustrates me that there still isn’t an international-standard English left-arm spin bowler who bats,” the former England captain said in his blog.

Urging the England Cricket Board (ECB) to prioritise their investment for a Jadeja-like player, Peterson said “someone of that ilk is priceless” across all three formats.

“They must identify and properly develop a left-arm spin all-rounder or that department will always be a weakness,” he added.

The 40-year-old former smasher, known for his reverse sweep shots, advised emerging cricketers in England to copy Jadeja in order to have a long career in Test cricket.

Peterson said England is not considering a spinner against New Zealand in the first Test, and that reveals their bowling options.

Worried about the current injuries in the English team and the continuous experiment with players, he said England needs to have a settled batting order by the end of summer.

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.
