BCCI shuns former player Kirti Azad as beneficiary

Openly being criticized by former player Kirti Azad hasn't gone down too well with the Indian cricket board. After Kapil Dev and Azharuddin, the BCCI has decided not to give the benefit of one-time payment scheme for former cricketers to politician and ex-cricketer Kirti Azad. Azad, one of the members of the 1983 World Cup winning team was to get Rs. 35 lakh under the BCCI scheme. Azad too has said that he doesn't really care about this benefit.
