Earlier, the former England batsman highlighted the “poaching issue” at the Kaziranga national park. “I’m led to believe there’s poaching issues in Kaziranga National Park of rhinos…! You know that YOU can help! I’ll help too!” the star cricketer had tweeted.

Authorities said they came to a lower count this time because they could not burn the tall grass in the region to spot the animals – only 20 per cent of the vegetation could be burnt as compared to the 60 per cent to 70 per cent every year. Enumerators who were part of the census suggested they may carry out another count next year after reviewing the field conditions that are essential to ascertain the rhino population.
