Speaking to <strong>Times Of India, <\/strong>he said: \u201cIf they don\u2019t recognize my contribution to Indian cricket, I don\u2019t have to push them to recognize me. They can invite anyone they want and I have nothing to do with it. I have always played cricket with a positive mindset and don\u2019t intend to be negative at all,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Sources in the BCCI said that while Kapil would be given a cheque of 1.5 crore for representing India in more than 100 Test matches, he was not invited to the function due to his association with the now defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <strong>Hindustan Times <\/strong>writes that it is no doubt a noble gesture by the BCCI to recognise the contribution of the yesteryear stalwarts but what is surprising is while the BCCI proudly announced the names of 65 former cricketers and four widows who have been invited for the playoffs, they haven&#8217;t bothered to reveal the full list of beneficiaries. In fact, there was no reason for such stories to be spread, but BCCI\u2019S lack of transparency meant it had to happen. \u201cSome of the beneficiaries have been invited to the playoff venues. They will be presented their cheques before the start of the matches,\u201d BCCI president N Srinivasan said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p>About excluding players like Mohinder Amarnath, GR Viswanath, Syed Kirmani and Dilip Vengsarkar from the list, BCCI said an official ODI has already been staged as a onetime benefit match for each of them. \u201cAs for Kapil Dev and Kiran More, since they are already associated with the Essel Group (the nowdefunct ICL&#8217;S promoters) and are fighting a legal battle against BCCI, they couldn\u2019t be included,\u201d said a BCCI source.<\/p>\n<p>According to another <strong>TOI <\/strong>report when the BCCI released the four lists of invitees, covering the three playoffs and the final, they had made it clear that they had been unable to invite all the beneficiaries but said the cheques would reach all as soon as possible. But the case of the four players is entirely different and as BCCI\u2019s chief administrative officer Prof Ratnakar Shetty clarified, there are no controversies here even though it may have led to heartburns. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a one-time benefit that is being extended to players in lieu of benefit matches that players with 100 or more Tests behind them (or an equivalent number taking ODIs, etc into account),\u201d Prof Shetty told <strong>TOI <\/strong>over phone from Mumbai. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose four players had been awarded ODIs as benefits (the entire collection from the ODI goes to the beneficiary concerned who also raises additional money by bringing out a souvenir, etc to commemorate the occasion) but for some years now we have been unable to do so for a variety of reasons. Hence our president (N Srinivasan) suggested that we extend this one-time benefit to eligible players. He further suggested that we extend the same to those who have played less then 100 Tests and to first class cricketers who have played long for their states,\u201d added Prof Shetty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miffed by Indian Cricket Board (BCCI), former Indian captain Kapil Dev said that he doesn\u2019t have to push the board to recognise his contribution to Indian cricket.
