Former Indian Cricket team captain Kapil Dev condemns BCCI, while appearing before the registrar of Delhi High Court, for dragging his name in match fixing controversy in the court and lash out at cricket body for victimizing players joining ICL against its wishes.

The case was filed by the former all rounder, captain of world cup winning team of India, against BCCI, for stopping pension of players joining Indian Cricket League.

Kapil Dev said, "It is incorrect to say that the BCCI has not put any pressure on PSUs and other organizations in respect of their employees who have joined ICL. They
(former players) are under pressure." He asked the court to direct government to release pensions and other benefits for former players keeping in mind the services they offer for promotion of game and country's name at international level.

Obliquely indicating the role of Lalit Modi to victimize players, he said, "They are trying to be vindictive towards us. Only one section of the Board is trying to do that. Moreover, it is just one person, who is being vindictive towards us."

Group Head of ICL, Himanshu Mody said that BCCI counsel is wasting court's time by diverting attention to the actual matter, leveling charges of match fixing.
