Kapil resigns as CAC chief
Former India World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has resigned from his post on Wednesday as chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC). The decision comes after BCCI Ethics officer D.K Jain issued a letter to CAC in regards to allegations of conflict of interest.
Kapil, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy formed the CAC. Madhya Padesh Cricket Association life member Sanjiv Gupta had filed the complaint against the CAC members in September. In the complaint, Gupta had claimed that the CAC members don multiple cricketing roles.
Gupta said Kapil Dev is conflicted as he is a commentator, owner of a floodlight company, member of Indian Cricketers Association, besides his CAC role while he pointed out Shantha Rangaswamy’s multiple roles in the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) and CAC.
