Kapil Dev resigned from the three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) on Wednesday (October 2) after he was served a Conflict of Interest notice along with other members of CAC by BCCI Ethics Officer DK Jain, but the former India captain didn’t need to put in his papers for a “non-existent committee”.

CoA chief Vinod Rai has made it clear that the CAC comprising Kapil, former women’s captain Shantha Rangaswamy and Anshuman Gaekwad were “not conflicted” as per their understanding and it was appointed for only selecting the head coach.

Not just Kapil but the trio was issued notice by Jain on complaint of Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) life member Sanjiv Gupta, who had complained that they were part of CAC despite being directors of players’ association.

With Shantha Rangaswamy also resigning from the committee earlier, the third member Gaekwad said that he is ready to resign if the “committee still exists”.

“As far as I am concerned, our ad-hoc committee was appointed only for a particular day where we had to select the head coach. I think it’s non-existent but if it exists, I will also resign if conflict question comes up,” said the former India opener.

Rai had earlier told this agency that, “CAC didn’t exist anymore as it is a one-time committee.”
