India World Cup-winning Kapil Dev recently resigned from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC). Dev who was the chief of CAC has stepped down from the 3-member committee, following Shanta Rangaswamy.

Kapil Dev was appointed the chief of the ad-hoc committee formed in July 2019. The CAC was tasked with the role of picking the head coaches of India women's and men's cricket teams.

Shanta Rangaswamy who stepped down from the post after she along with Kapil Dev and Anshuman Gaekwad was served Conflict of Interest notice by BCCI's ethics officer DK Jain in September 2019.

Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) life member Sanjiv Gupta who filed the complaint against the CAC members in September. In the complaint, Gupta had claimed that the CAC members don multiple cricketing roles.

Gupta said Kapil Dev is conflicted as he is a commentator, owner of a floodlight company, member of Indian Cricketers Association, besides his CAC role while he pointed out Shantha Rangaswamy's multiple roles in the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) and CAC.

Meanwhile, Shantha Rangaswamy expressed frustration by saying, “I want to contribute to BCCI but I want to pursue other things as well. I can't do it if I stick to these positions. There is no point in contesting the notice, going through a hearing. As it is, I would have had to give up a post. I have decided to give up both posts.”

Recently, even the former India batsman Rahul Dravid had deposed before BCCI Ethics Officer DK Jain after Sanjeev Gupta complaint against him over a potential Conflict of Interest.
