Bangalore police confident of locating Niall O'Brien's "missing" cricket bats

Bangalore, Mar 8: Bangalore Police have said that they are confident of returning Ireland batsman Niall O’Brien’s six cricket bats, which went missing during his team’s five-wicket loss to India on Sunday.

Niall had reported the bats as missing when they failed to arrive at Ireland’s hotel with the rest of the team’s equipment after the match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

“The case is being investigated and we hope to trace the bag soon,” Fox Sports quoted a Bangalore police spokesman, as saying.

Ireland’s next World Cup Group B game is against the West Indies at Mohali on Friday.
