The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, Sourav Ganguly, is expected to step down; Roger Binny is most likely to succeed him. Despite assertions that Ganguly intended to continue serving as the board’s chairman, it appears that he didn’t have the backing of the other members.
Ganguly has acknowledged that he will “go on to something else,” however an official comment on the situation and his expected resignation as BCCI president has not yet been released.
Speaking at a Bandhan Bank event, Ganguly acknowledged that he had long worked as an administrator and is currently seeking for a new opportunity.
Sourav Ganguly’s remarks
At the ceremony, Sourav Ganguly added, “I have been an administrator, and I will move on to something new. “The best days of your life, no matter what you do, were when you played for India. I served as BCCI president, and I’ll do much more in the future. Neither a player nor an administrator may remain in either position indefinitely. Both have been wonderful to accomplish.”
“I’ve never been a believer in history, but historically, it seemed that the east lacked the talent to compete at that level. You don’t overnight become an Ambani or a Narendra Modi. To get there, you must put in months or years of work “He said. Ganguly also discussed his time serving as captain of the Indian team.
“Six captains were in charge of the group. When Rahul was almost removed from the one-day side, I defended him. I used their advice when deciding on the team. In a team setting, these things are observed “said Ganguly.
“It goes beyond the runs I made. People recall different things. It’s what you do for them as a leader, “added the departing BCCI president.
In all likelihood, Roger Binny will succeed Ganguly as captain. He has already submitted his candidacy paperwork and is most likely to win without any challengers. Jay Shah will continue to serve as the board’s secretary even though Ganguly is about to step down as BCCI president. As the top brass is rearranged, a few other adjustments to the BCCI are also anticipated.
