Kapil resigns as CAC chief

Former Indian captain Kapil Dev has resigned from his post as chief of 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 and Rangaswamy resigned after she was served notice to explain her stand on holding multiple positions on the board, which is in violation of BCCI’s constitution.

Earlier, Justice Jain had sent the conflict of interest notice to all CAC members over the complaint made by Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association's (MPCA) member Sanjeev Gupta.

In the notice, the ethics officer had also asked the CAC members to send in their reply by the given deadline. The legal team of the BCCI under the CoA had given the trio the green light to be part of CAC.
