I will go on to do bigger things: Sourav Ganguly

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly’s tenure as the BCCI chief is coming to an end with the former Indian player Roger Binny likely to be his successor. Several reports have stated that Ganguly wants to continue as the BCCI president but he did not have the backing of other members.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Kolkata has said that he will move on to do something else. Ganguly also went on to say that the best days in his life were when he represented India in the international arena.

I will move on to do something else: Sourav Ganguly

Speaking at a Bandhan Bank event, the former Indian skipper confirmed that he has been an administrator for a long time and he will now be looking to move on to do something else.

“I have been an administrator and I will move on to something else,” he said at the event. “Whatever you do in life the best days are when you played for India. I have been president of BCCI and I will go on to do bigger things. You can’t be a player forever, you can’t be an administrator forever. It’s been great doing both. I never believed in history but the feeling in the past was east lacked the talent to play at that level. You don’t become an Ambani or Narendra Modi in one day. You have to work for months and years to get there,” he further said.

Ganguly also talked about his experience as the skipper of the Indian team. “It was six captains leading the team. I stood up for Rahul when he was almost dropped from the one-day side. I took their suggestions in picking the team. These things don’t go unnoticed in a team environment,” he said.

“It’s not just the runs I scored. People remember other things. It’s what you do as a leader for them,” said the outgoing BCCI chief.
