ICL ropes in Patil as coach

Mumbai: The proposed India Cricket League has roped in former Test batsman and National coach Sandeep Patil into its fold but the appointment may cost the ex-player the monthly pension he’s entitled to receive from the BCCI.

“Yes, Sandeep Patil has joined the ICL and will be coaching one of the six teams,” the League’s Creative Head Ajay Kapoor told PTI.

The 50-year-old, who played in 29 Tests and 45 ODIs for India in the 1980s, took the plunge to join the rebel league on Thursday.

But the Mumbai stalwartay have said goodbye to the monthly pension he’s receiving from the BCCI along with two other former India and ICL colleagues Kapil Dev and Kiran More. PTI
