Pakistani allrounder Faheem Ashraf has been ruled out of the Test series against Australia slated to start next month. Faheem will be the second Pakistani player to be ruled out of the series after Left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz was also ruled out due to an injury.

It is to be noted that Australia will be making their first tour in the country since 1998.  Meanwhile, the action will begin with the opening Test, which gets underway on March 4 in Rawalpindi. Team Australia led by pacer Pat Cummins have already boarded the flight for Pakistan.

According to sources confirming to ‘Cricket Pakistan’, Faheem has been ruled out due to a groin injury and will not be able to participate in the inaugural Test match. Similarly, as per reports, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is likely to announce the allrounder’s replacement as his participation in upcoming matches looks unlikely.

Naseem Shah likely to replace Ashraf in the squad

Express pacer Naseem Shah is likely to replace Faheem, as the fast bowler has already included in the squad as a reserve player. PCB selection committee will make a formal decision regarding Faheem’s replacement on February 28.

Meanwhile in another squad related development, Cricket Australia has named Pakistan-born Australian cricketer Fawad Ahmed to provide his services as a net bowler and an advisor for Australian team for upcoming Test series. The 40-year old bowler was named as Rashid Khan’s replacement by Lahore Qalandars in 2022 Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Lahore Qalandars will be taking on Multan Sultans in the final match of 2022 PSL  to be played on February 27. After the match is concluded, Fawad will be transferred to Australia’s biosecurity bubble. Meanwhile, Australian skipper Pat Cummins also emphasized on the fact that Fawad will play a key role as he has ample experience of Pakistan conditions.

“Fawad Ahmed has experience of playing in Pakistan and PSL. He knows pitches in Pakistan really well so Fawad Ahmed as a spin consultant will be helpful for Australia,” Cummins was quoted by Cricket Pakistan.

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.
