Will India visit Pakistan to play Champions Trophy 2025: Read what ICC said

One of the most talked about upcoming ICC tournaments is surely the Champions Trophy 2025. Since the hosting rights were given to Pakistan, one question that came to everyone’s mind was ‘will India tour the neighbouring country for the tournament’? While many answers have been out including Sports Minister Anurag Thakur saying the Indian government and Home Ministry will take a decision, it will still be a huge deal as both sides do not indulge in bilateral series for a long time.

Knowing India and Pakistan do not lock horns with each other in bilateral series due to geopolitical tension between them, ICC chairman Greg Barclay stated that the Men in Blue touring their neighbours country would be really challenging in the end. However, he added that the ICC really cannot do much in the matter.

“Yeah, we know it’s a particularly challenging issue to work through, but from my point of view, I cannot control geopolitical forces. I just hope cricket can be a force to help improve relationships between countries. That is the one great thing sport can do is help people and nations come together. If it can help in contributing to that, then it is fantastic,” said Barclay while speaking to reporters.

While India and Pakistan do not play bilateral series, other countries do, so when asked if the charm of these series will go away, ICC CEO Geoff Allardice said that different players will be seen stepping at different times keeping the rotation policy and bio bubble fatigue management in mind and this will keep the momentum of the bilateral games.

“I do not think the charm of bilateral cricket will go away. You will see a different range of players, in particular at the moment where people are moving in and out of bubbles, you will see players rotated a little more than normal time but judging by the reaction to the series that recently concluded in India, it does not look like that the appeal of bilateral cricket has diminished much at all,” said Allardice.

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.
