BCCI lifts Kapil Dev's ban

Former captain Kapil Dev on Wednesday (July 25) buried his differences with the BCCI after five years of estrangement to mark his return to the official fold in a deal that makes him eligible to get Rs 1.5 crore for his services to the game. The cricket legend, who was the last from the rebel league to rejoin the game's official establishment, was accepted back into the BCCI when he gave a letter to Board President N Srinivasan that he had quit the defunct ICL.
