The appointment of a new coach of the Indian cricket team and the tussle with
the break-away Indian Cricket League will come up for discussion when top
BCCI officials meet here tomorrow.
The BCCI and the ICL, a brainchild of Subhash Chandra-owned Essel Group,
have been engaged in a vicious war of words over the last few days and the Board
officials are expected to deliberate at length on the issue.
"It is not listed in the agenda but the matter will come
up for discussion. The BCCI will deliberate on all the aspects of the League
and formulate a strategy," a BCCI source said.
With the ICL stepping up its efforts to rope in star players,
the BCCI had last week threatened to impose life bans on those who joined the
rebel league.
The top brass of the Board may also decide on taking action
against Kapil Dev who has aligned with the rebel body despite being the
chairman of the National Cricket Academy.
BCCI President Sharad Pawar has already said that withdrawing
Kapil Dev's retirement benefits would be discussed at the Special General Body
Meeting to be held in Mumbai on August 21.
