Cricket News: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has not quit as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), according to BCCI secretary Jay Shah. Shah’s reply comes after speculation developed following a statement issued by Ganguly to thank fans as he approached the 30th anniversary of his cricket career. In the message, he also stated that he is “going to start something” “today” that he believes will “probably assist a lot of people.”
“The rumours doing rounds about Mr Sourav Ganguly stepping down from the post of BCCI President are factually incorrect. We have some exciting times in the form of media rights coming up and my colleagues and I are completely focused on the upcoming opportunity and safeguarding the interest of Indian cricket,” Shah told ANI.
“2022 marks the 30th year since the start of my journey with cricket in 1992. Since then, cricket has given me a lot. Most importantly, it has given me the support of all of you,” Ganguly said in his statement, a screenshot of which he tweeted.
