The appointment of a new coach of the Indian cricket team and the tussle with the breakaway Indian Cricket League (ICL) will come up for discussion when top BCCI officials meet here on Wednesday.

The BCCI and the ICL, a brainchild of Subhash Chandra-owned Essel Group, have been engaged in a war of words over the last few days and the Board officials are expected to deliberate at length on the issue.

“It is not listed in the agenda but the matter will come up for discussion. The BCCI will deliberate on all the aspects of the League and formulate a strategy,” a BCCI source said.

With the ICL stepping up its efforts to rope in star players, the BCCI had last week threatened to impose life bans on those who joined the rebel league. The top brass of the Board may also decide to take action against Kapil Dev, who has aligned with the ICL despite being the NCA chairman.
