Balasahab Thorve, chairman of the MCA, confirmed that Kale had filed the case. "We have come to know of Kale filing the case," Thorve said. "We are consulting our lawyers to take appropriate action."
Kale was suspended by the BCCI after two selectors, Kiran More and Pranob Roy, filed a complaint against him, alleging that he offered them Rs 10 lakh each [approximately US $22,000] to include him in the Indian team for the tour of Australia.
