Day after Kapil email, Mohali rushes in to salve his wounds

Cricket Association (PCA) today offered to restore the cut-out.

As reported by The Indian Express, Kapil Dev shot off an email to the PCA yesterday, asking them to return him all his memorabilia if they cannot preserve them. His cut-out had been removed two weeks ago.

PCA secretary M P Pandove said that the association, in its reply to the former India captain, had assured Kapil that his cut-out would soon be back where it was. He said all his memorabilia and gifts were being “properly preserved in the most befitting manner.”

“The cut-out was removed as construction work is on. After the rainy season, Kapil’s cut out will be back at its original place,” Pandove said.

Pandove, also the BCCI joint secretary, said: “I will speak to Kapil as well and remove all apprehensions in his mind. We have full respect for him,” he said.

Kapil also appeared satisfied with the PCA’s explanation and said that by sending the email, he wanted to clear certain doubts in his mind.
