JAKARTA: Former world cricketer Ramlal Nikhanj Kapil Dev of
India will hold several activities organized by the Indonesian
Cricket Foundation (ICF) to promote the sport here.

"Kapil Dev will be our guest of honor at our gala dinner at
the Mercantile Club on Saturday," ICF administrator Deniz Ramis
told The Jakarta Post recently.

"He will also give a coaching clinic to young cricketers at
the Cibubur cricket ground," he added.
