Move to have Kapil Dev part of CAC likely to face opposition as CoA meet tomorrow to decide on the panel that will pick Team India's next head coach and support staff

When the Committee of Administrators (CoA) meet tomorrow in New Delhi to decide the members of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) that will pick the Indian men's team head coach and its support staff members, there is likely to be a huge debate over choosing at least one member of that committee.
It is learnt that the appointment of Kapil Dev is likely to face some opposition during the three-member CoA meeting. While India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain is the first choice of one CoA member, there will be some level of opposition since Kapil already holds a post in the Indian Cricketers' Association (ICA), the official players body. The legendary all-rounder cannot hold another post under the new BCCI constitution. Kapil is one of the directors of the ICA along with Shantha Rangaswamy and Ajit Agarkar. Anshuman Gaekwad, who was a part of the ICA steering committee, has taken up a role with the BCCI's affiliation committee.
The CAC had to be formed again after its previous members — Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman — resigned recently under the one-man, one-post clause.
