The Hindu
The former India captain not just rejected the accusations thrown at him but also offered a gentle reminder to his critics
From COVID-19 disruptions to allegations that he has tried to influence selectors to criticism that not enough has been done for women’s cricket during his tenure, Sourav Ganguly has endured a challenging 26 months as BCCI president.
But in an exclusive interview with PTI, the former India captain not just rejected the accusations thrown at him but also offered a gentle reminder to his critics — much before becoming the BCCI boss, he was a celebrated India cricketer and played in a whopping 424 international matches, 113 of them Tests.
Steering clear of the drama surrounding the end of Virat Kohli’s captaincy tenure, Ganguly answered questions on other sensitive issues like the recently-announced resumption of the Ranji Trophy in two phases, the still awaited decision on India’s new Test captain, and start of the Women’s IPL.
