As Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) faces criticism from around the world regarding all-rounder James Faulkner allegations against the cricket board due to non-payment issues, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has come out to defend the organization. Writing on micro-blogging site,  Afridi slammed Faulkner for levelling ‘baseless’ allegations against the board and claimed the payments of the players have never been delayed in the competition.

Australian all-rounder James Faulkner left the ongoing 2022 Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Saturday and returned home due to non-payment by PCB. Faulkner took to Twitter to reveal PCB and his franchise Quetta Gladiators have been continuously lying to him and have not ‘honoured’ his contractual agreement and payments.

Faulkner also termed PCB’s treatment of him as a ‘disgrace’ as he apologized to Pakistani fans for leaving the tournament midway. Responding to his accusations, PCB has termed Faulkner’s allegations as ‘baseless’ and have also banned the Australian from taking part in the PSL for life.

No one should be allowed to taint Cricket: Afridi

“Disappointed with @JamesFaulkner44 comments who reciprocated Pakistan’s hospitality&arrangements by levelling baseless allegations.We al have been treated with respect &never ever our payments have been delayed. No one should be allowed to taint cricket & the #HBLPSL brand,” Afridi wrote in a tweet.

The PCB has also responded to the accusations made by Faulkner with a detailed statement.

“The PCB and Quetta Gladiators are disappointed and dismayed with the reprehensible behavior of James Faulkner, who was also part of the Abu Dhabi-leg of the HBL Pakistan Super League in 2021, and, along with all participants, has always been treated with the utmost respect,” board stated in an official statement.

“Taking serious note of James Faulkner’s gross misconduct that was an attempt to bring the PCB, Pakistan cricket and the HBL Pakistan Super League into disrepute, it has been unanimously agreed by the PCB and the franchises that James Faulkner will not be drafted in future Pakistan Super League events,” it added.

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.
