Conflict Complaint Against Kapil Dev Rendered Infructuous
Kapil Dev was part of the Cricket Advisory Committee long with Shantha Rangaswamy and Anshuman Gaekwad.
BCCI ethics officer DK Jain on Sunday confirmed that he has rendered the conflict of interest complaint against Kapil Dev as "infructuous" after the former India captain stepped down from his multiple cricketing roles.
Jain, who is into his last month of his one-year contract with the BCCI, had earlier rendered infructuous the complaint against Shantha Rangaswamy and Anshuman Gaekwad in December after they also stepped down from their multiple posts.
All three of them were part of the Cricket Advisory Committee but resigned in September after MPCA life member Sanjeev Gupta had levelled conflict of interest allegations against them. BCCI has now formed a new CAC.
Jain had called Rangaswamy, Gaekwad and Kapil for a personal hearing on 27 and 28 December in Mumbai but the World Cup-winning captain did not appear due to personal reasons.
