Earlier, the players from the 1983 World Cup batch initiated fund raisers to meet the medical expenses of Anshuman Gaekwad, who has been admitted to a Vadodra hospital after his return from King’s College Hospital in London.
“I don’t want the BCCI to do anything. They have done enough for the players and are still doing so. I would want everyone to come forward and help Gaekwad,” Kapil told The Telegraph on Saturday.
