Abu Dhabi: In the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup, a bizarre incident has taken place where the curator of today’s match between Afghanistan and New Zealand has reportedly committed suicide.
As per sources, the curator of the match, Mohan Singh has been found dead in his room.
The preliminary reports revealed that the curator of Abu Dhabi Stadium belongs to India and had made the pitch for today’s match between New Zealand and Afghanistan.
The administration has started an investigation into his death as soon as the incident got reported.
Mohan came to Abu Dhabi in September 2004 after training to be a curator in India at the Punjab Cricket Stadium in Mohali, where he had been employed since 1994, first as a ground supervisor as well assisting the coaches.
He has been a pitch curator since 18 years.
One of his first major jobs was preparing the pitch for the stadium's inaugural one-day game played between India and Pakistan in April 2006.
During his tenure at the stadium, he has been sent on three different curator courses conducted by the Asian Cricket Council in Kuwait, Qatar and Malaysia in the past.
