NEW DELHI: BCCI ethics officer D K Jain has rendered the conflict of interest complaint against former cricketers and CAC members Shantha Rangaswamy and Anshuman Gaekwad as “infructuous” but the case involving Kapil Dev has still not been decided.
Jain had called Rangaswamy, Gaekwad and Kapil for a personal hearing on December 27 and 28 even though all three had stepped down from the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) in September and October, following the complaint filed by Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) life member Sanjeev Gupta.
Gupta had claimed that all three don multiple cricketing roles, when as per the BCCI constitution, no person can occupy more than one post at the same time.
“Since they (Gaekwad, Rangaswamy) have resigned from their respective posts, the complaint has been disposed of. In Kapil’s case, the complainant needed more time to file an application, I have given him that,” Jain told PTI on Sunday.
Rangaswamy, who like Gaekwad is on the BCCI apex council, is no more involved with Indian Cricketers Assoication (ICA) as its director.
Gaekwad was a working group member which was set up for ICA’s formation and is also no more part of BCCI’s affiliation committee.
While Kapil and Rangaswamy were unavailable, Gaekwad deposed before Jain.
The case concerning BCCI employee Mayank Parikh, who also faces a conflict of interest charge, is not settled yet.
The Kapil-led CAC, when it was existent, had appointed the senior men’s and women’s head coach.
Being part of CAC is an honorary job and World Cup-winning captain Kapil had earlier made it clear that conflict of interest should not be applicable to those who are not being paid for their services.
Conflict of interest is a serious issue facing Indian cricket and the BCCI has sought Supreme Court’s directions on the matter. (AGENCIES)he spot! Luckily that day I had only one-two dialogues,” Janhvi adds.
The actor then relied on her house help, a Kannadiga, to pick up the specific accent.
“The way she speaks Hindi was very specific to what Zoya said. All her ‘h’ are silent, so she says, ‘teek hai’, ‘kaane may kya chahiye.’ I made her say some of my dialogues, recorded it and then we just went with it!”
“Ghost Stories” would be her follow-up to her 2018 debut “Dhadak”.
The 22-year-old actor says she has picked all her projects purely because they offered new opportunities for her to learn.
“The films I have picked after ‘Dhadak’ have been–what people have told me–slightly unexpected. Everything I have approached has been through the lens of ‘is this an opportunity to learn?’
“If it has been, I have jumped at it. To work with Zoya, Surekha mam and Vijay, on this story, seemed like an opportunity of a lifetime for an artiste to grow from.”
“Ghost Stories” will stream on Netflix from January 1. (AGENCIES)
