Former New Zealand Test spinner, Grant Bradburn has decided to step down as head of Pakistan cricket’s high-performance coaching to “pursue further coaching opportunities”, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Friday (October 15).

The New Zealand cricket team had recently cancelled a limited-overs tour of Pakistan to fly out hours before the start of the One-day Series in Rawalpindi citing “security issues”.

After former cricketer Ramiz Raja took over as the PCB chief, the Pakistan team head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis had stepped down from their respective roles in early September, one month before the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE and Oman.

During his three years in Pakistan, Bradburn served as the national side’s fielding coach from September 2018 to June 2020, before taking on the development of coaching responsibilities. “He remained a popular figure within the cricket fraternity and is regarded highly by players, coaches and colleagues,” PCB said in a statement.

“It has been an honour and privilege to serve Pakistan, providing challenge and support, to drive the players, coaches and teams forward. I will leave PCB grateful for the wonderful opportunities and the experiences I have gained,” said Bradburn.

“As a foreigner, I felt welcomed and valued by my present and former PCB colleagues, players, officials and the Pakistan public. I have always felt safe here, loved exploring this wonderful country and made many lifetime friends,” he added.

“My wife Maree and three children have also sacrificed a lot in allowing me to serve Pakistan cricket. Covid-19 regulations made it challenging for them to visit Pakistan and feel the warmth, love and friendship this country offers. It is now time for me to prioritise family and move forward to the next coaching challenge.”

PCB’s director high performance, Nadeem Khan said, “Grant served Pakistan cricket with passion and dedication. He was always full of energy and ideas, a number of which he implemented following the restructuring of the National High Performance Centre. I thank Grant for his contributions to Pakistan cricket and wish him well in his future endeavours.”

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.
