'83 celebrations: Help the BCCI resolve this issue

All of us know that this year marks the 25 th anniversary of our World Cup win. The BCCI rightly feels it must be celebrated with pomp and grandeur.

Unfortunately, there is a problem, some of the team members are now part of a rebel cricketing association, namely ICL.

The issue is as follows:

Can the BCCI be involved in an event that involves men who have crossed over to the breakaway Indian Cricket League?

The BCCI feels it would not be in the right spirit to associate with the ICL, at the same time it feels that the 'rebel' heroes have to be felicitated.It is also imperative that the nation celebrates its one and only World Cup victory.

As they say, the BCCI is on the horns of a dilemma and knowing my appreciation of BCCI's contribution to the development of cricket in India and also my in depth knowledge of BCCI's contribution to our World Cup win, my dear friend Niranjan Shah has charged me with the responsibility of resolving a very sensitive issue.

As I could nt come up with an acceptable suggestion, ( my suggestion to dissolve the BCCI was dismissed out of hand) I am now falling back upon you, my loyal readers, to come up with something suitable.

Can you suggest a solution?
