An interesting development in Indian Cricket! Kapil Dev has quit suddenly. Or was it really sudden. After his interview with CBI a few days ago, Kapil said that let CBI do its job. Has the CBI unearthed some concrete proofs about Kapil's involvement in the match fixing scandal?
Do you think Kapil is quitting because of his guilt or because of fear of some legal action against him in near future?
I invite your views on this.
Here is the article taken from Times of India :
----------
NEW DELHI: Kapil Dev on Tuesday quit his post as coach of the Indian cricket team a day after he was asked by the board to take charge of the squad's conditioning camp set to begin in Chennai on September 14.
"Mr Kapil Dev has sent in his resignation today (Tuesday) to the board president (A C Muthiah). We are now trying to persuade (Kapil's predecessor) Anshuman Gaekwad to take charge of the team at a short notice," board secretary Jaywant Lele told PTI from Baroda on Tuesday.
"I could not talk to Gaekwad till late afternoon as he was not available in his office but have told his wife that he can tie up the loose ends at his office front like getting the necessary sanction for his leave of absence before reaching Chennai on September 14," Lele added.
If Gaekwad accepts the BCCI offer, he will accompany the Indian team on its forthcoming tour to Nairobi to take part in the ICC knock-out tournament to be held from October 3 to 15.
The national cricket selectors are to meet in Chennai on September 20 to finalise the 14-strong squad.(PTI)
