Kapil to stay with ICL

Chandigarh: A day after BCCI threatened to take “appropriate steps” against him for aligning with the rebel Indian Cricket League, Kapil Dev remained defiant and said he would not give up his job with the ICL.

He said there was nothing wrong in occupying the post of NCA chairman and being a part of the ICL at the same time.

“I am working for the betterment of my game. For me, cricket everywhere is same. If somebody asks for my services, how can I stop him,” the legendary cricketer told reporters here on Wednesday.

Hitting out at the BCCI, Kapil said he had not done anything “unethical” by aligning with the ICL.

“However, if I am stopped from teaching cricket, they (BCCI) would be doing an unethical thing,” he said.

“I have got a job (with the ICL) and the debate is whether I should do this job,” he said.

When asked about BCCI’s threat of sacking him as NCA Chairman, Kapil shot back, “If they want to remove me they are free to do so. “I will do my job (with ICL),” he said. — PTI
