Mumbai: Former Cricket Advisory Committee members Kapil Dev and Anshuman Gaekwad has been asked to appear before BCCI ethics officer D K Jain to explain conflict of interest allegations against them.
The CAC, comprising Kapil, Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy, had resigned after getting the conflict of interest notices from Jain in September, following the complaint filed by Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) life member Sanjeev Gupta.
There is no CAC in place anymore but they have been asked to depose in person on December 27 and 28.
"Though they have stepped down, the ethics officer has sought some clarifications from them," a BCCI source told media.
When contacted, Gaekwad said he will go to Mumbai to attend the hearing.
"Yes, I will meet the ethics officer and explain my point of view once again, like I had in my written reply to him earlier. The Committee of Administrators had approved our appointment (in CAC) only after being convinced that there was no conflict," Gaekwad told media.
BCCI employee Mayank Parikh, who also faces the conflict of interest charges, has also been asked to depose on December 27.
A part of the management team in the BCCI, Parikh is also associated with multiple clubs, with voting rights, in the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).
