Indian veteran all-rounder Kapil Dev has sounded out to former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar on the proposal of raising the India-Pakistan ODI series against Corona at the empty stadium. The captain, who won India's first World Cup, said that India does not need the money and it is not worth risking lives for a cricket match.
Kapil said that he (Shoaib) has the right to express his opinion but India does not need money. We have enough What is important at this time is how to fight this epidemic in unison. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given a large amount (51 crore rupees) in aid and is able to give more money if needed.
For your information, let us tell that he further said - how much money you will collect from these matches. In such a situation, there is no need to put the cricketers at risk. According to me, you don't even need to think about cricket for the next five to six months.
