Langurs, which have long been trained in India to drive away wild animals, have now been deployed for a cricket match.
The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association has hired langurs to prevent monkeys from entering the stadium during the ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur.

The monkeys snatch food and other items like mobile phones from the fans arriving at the stadium to watch the cricket match, causing trouble to the fans. They also disturb camera operators who are part of the Bandar Broadcaster team.
An Indian Express report said that monkeys are afraid of langurs, so the authorities have deployed trained langurs for security outside the stadium so that the fans who come to watch the match in the stadium do not have any trouble from the monkeys.
The first day of the Kanpur Test, which started on Friday, is over. Bangladesh scored 107 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, and the host team had a 1-0 lead in the series.
