Kapil Dev the legendary cricketer demanded that the BCCI must come to aid of the ailing cricketer Anshuman who is suffering with Blood cancer.
we don’t have a system. It is great to see this generation of players make good money. It is good to see the support staff members also being paid well. In our time, the Board did not have the money.
Today, it has and should take care of the senior players from the past. But where do they send their contributions? If a Trust is formed, they can put their money there. But we don’t have a system.
There should be a Trust. I think BCCI can do that. They do look after the players, former and present. We are ready to contribute by donating our pension amount if the family allows us to,” he added.
Kalpil said that if nothing happens he was ready to forego his pensionfor the sake of Anshuman and his treatment. Kapil wants the BCCI to create a system where money is contributed for the welfare of the
cricketers in general and especially the old players who are having health issues.
Kapil was upset that nothing was happening for Anshuman so far from the BCCI.
