BCCI President Sourav Ganguly is set to make way for Roger Binny as the 1983 World Cup winning hero is on the cusp of taking over the top post. It is believed that Ganguly was keen to carry on as the BCCI chief but fell out of favour. Reportedly, Ganguly was offered the post of IPL Chairman but the former Indian skipper denied the offer. He was eyeing the ICC Chairman post, however, the board isn't too keen to send him to the ICC as well.

Amid all this, Ganguly finally broke his silence during a recent event.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speaking at a Bandhan Bank event, Ganguly stated that he is now looking to move on to 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.&nbsp;I never believed in history but the feeling in the past was east lacked 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 added.

'I will...' - Outgoing BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly breaks silence with Roger Binny all set to succeed him

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly was appointed as BCCI chief in late 2019. However, his three-year term is set to end next week with the 1983 World Cup hero Roger Binny to succeed him. After the Supreme Court&nbsp;waved off the three-year cooling-off period clause, Ganguly was a favourite to continue as the BCCI President till 2025. However, the former cricketer was reportedly informed that his stint is set to end after not going as per expectations.

Till Tuesday (October 12), Ganguly didn't give up on his position before being informed&nbsp;during informal meetings that he is set to lose the post. While many hoped Ganguly would contest for the ICC Chairman's position, it seems even that is unlikely to happen as the former Indian skipper isn't the BCCI's choice for the post, as per the Indian Express.

Ganguly, who led India post the match-fixing scandal till 2005, served as the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal before taking over as the BCCI chief in late 2019. Under him, the board managed to stage the IPL successfully in the post-Covid era. However, it is reported that many aren't impressed with his body of work as he is set to make way for Binny, who represented India in&nbsp;72 ODIs and 27 Tests from 1979 to 1987. Meanwhile, Jay Shah is expected to continue as the BCCI Secretary whereas treasurer Arun Dhumal is likely to become the IPL Chairman.

As per reports, it seems Ganguly fell out of favour at the BCCI office and didn't hide his displeasure at the office headquarters in Mumbai on Tuesday. He&nbsp;did not suggest&nbsp;Roger Binny's name, the incoming president, which is a normal practice and completely looked out of sorts after failing to retain his position. "He clearly looked upset, disappointed and dejected," said a member present at the BCCI office as per Cricbuzz.

The IPL media rights auction was immensely successful, held early this year, whereas Women's IPL is set to kick off early next year. While some pointed fingers at how the domestic cricket was neglected in the tough times due to Covid-19, Ranji Trophy also returned to action after a two-year-hiatus in early 2022.

Ganguly's tenure has been hit by the Covid-19 virus wreaking havoc in the cricketing calendar worldwide. While BCCI have managed to host the last two IPL seasons despite various Covid challenges, questions over Women's IPL's implementation at a bigger level and his recent fall-out with Virat Kohli have dented his image as the BCCI President of&nbsp;late.

During a recent interaction with Sportstar, the 49-year-old opined on his legacy as BCCI chief. "I don't think it's more challenging. What's my legacy? Well, I won't be able to tell it now. Let's see what happens. It is up to you all to judge my legacy, it is what it is. But it has been under tough circumstances due to Covid-19 over the last two years. The pandemic has wreaked havoc all over the world and we are fortunate that we could still manage to get a majority of cricket done," Ganguly told the portal in an interview.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

The mega auction for the IPL 2022 edition is just a few days away. All eyes are on the ten teams and how they will form their respective sides heading into the 15th edition. While the auction strategies are being laid down by all the ten teams, BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly has confirmed that the IPL 2022 season will take place in India itself.

Ahead of the mega auction, to be held in Bengaluru in mid-February, BCCI President Ganguly has stated that Maharastra will be conducting the league stage of the 15th edition whereas no final call has been made regarding the playoffs' venues.

In the last two years, i.e. the Covid-era, BCCI have had their fair share of struggles in hosting the cash-rich league smoothly.

While the IPL 2021 season started in India, only the first half of the marquee event (i.e. 29 games) was held in the country before the second wave of the Covid-19 virus led to its indefinite postponement.

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly discharged following COVID treatment, to remain in home isolation for two weeks

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly congratulated just-retired Harbhajan Singh on a glorious career, saying the one aspect of the veteran off-spinner that inspired him the most was his "hunger to perform".

Harbhajan Singh called time on his career on Friday after an illustrious 23-year stint in international cricket.

During his career, he won two World Cups -- the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007 and then the ODI World Cup in 2011. He took 417 wickets in 103 Tests, 269 wickets in 236 ODIs and 25 scalps in 28 T20Is.

"I congratulate Harbhajan Singh on a remarkable career. He has faced several challenges in his life, but Bhajji is not the one to give up. He has overcome many hurdles and put many setbacks behind him to rise every time. What inspired me the most about him was his hunger to perform," Ganguly said in a BCCI statement.

"His strength was his guts and courage. He was always very passionate, and his immense self-belief meant he never shied away from a fight. He also kept the dressing room atmosphere light and that is something really important," added the former captain, who had lot of faith in Harbhajan's abilities and brought him back during that epic series against Australia in 2001.

Ganguly rated Harbhajan's breath-taking performance against Aussies as one of the best, saying the off-spinner was always a "captain's delight".

"His first full Test series against Australia in 2001 is the greatest that I have seen where one bowler single-handedly won the series. He was a captain's delight.

"As a bowler, he hated putting fielders in the deep. Bhajji has been an absolute match-winner. He should be proud of what he has achieved. I want to tell him that the new innings in his life will be as exciting."

A fierce competitor, Harbhajan ended his glittering career as the fourth-highest wicket-taker from India in Tests with 417 wickets and fifth among Indian bowlers in ODIs with 269 scalps.

Having debuted in 1998 against Australia in Bengaluru first as a 17-year-old, Harbhajan represented the country for close to two decades. He featured in the elite 100-Test club and is only the second Indian spinner after Anil Kumble to have played over 100 Tests for India.

He holds the honour of being the first Indian to take a Test hat-trick when he dismissed Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne in successive balls in the famous 2001 Kolkata Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

His astonishing match tally of 13/196 helped the team to a stunning victory as India became only the third team to win a Test after being forced to follow on.

Harbhajan also played a key role in helping India win the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and was later instrumental in India becoming the first team to win a World Cup at home in 2011.

"Harbhajan Singh has had a phenomenal career with Team India. He has been a part of many memorable victories both at home and away. He played his cricket with grit and passion and wore his heart on his sleeve. His fighting spirit and his zeal to perform for India when the team was under pressure is something that always stood out," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said.

"His presence on the field lifted everyone's morale. While he played a major role with the ball, picking up wickets aplenty, it must be remembered that he has also played some crucial knocks with the bat, helping us get over the line. I wish him the best for all his future endeavours and wish to see him being closely associated with the game."

"It (holding the tournament in the UAE) was discussed, but the (COVID-19 cases) in India in February was (virtually) nothing. It has just gone through the roof in the last three weeks. Before that it was nothing. We discussed about the UAE but then decided to do it in India," he added.

"As I said, when we decided all this, there was no (Covid spike) in India. So it’s very easy to say now (that tournament could have been held in only one city), but when this tournament was organised, Covid numbers (in India) were nothing. We started with Mumbai and finished there without any case. And Mumbai was very high (number of active Covid cases) then," he further said.

BCCI chief further assured safe travel for all the foreign contingent part of IPL to their countries.&nbsp;

ALSO READ: Sourav Ganguly admitted to hospital again, to undergo another angioplasty on Thursday Ganguly had been admitted to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata after he complained of chest pain on Wednesday. As per PTI's report, two more stents have been implanted to clear blocks in a coronary artery of former India skipper. According to reports, Ganguly had felt a slight pain in his chest on Tuesday but the pain increased on Wednesday and hence, he was shifted to the hospital without taking any further risks. He was rushed to the hospital for further check-up. Ganguly had suffered a mild heart attack earlier in January after which the former Indian captain was immediately admitted to Kolkata's Woodlands Hospital. Ganguly had suffered a sudden blackout during a workout session at his Behala resident on January 2. Angioplasty was successfully carried on Ganguly's right coronary artery after the 48-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest. However, the other two damaged arteries too needed angioplasty but the doctors, after consulting Ganguly and his family, decided that the procedure would be done at a later date. Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries after which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage. As per the hospital, there were minor changes in Sourav Ganguly’s Electrocardiogram (ECG) report and he is being monitored closely by the doctors at the Apollo Hospital in Kolkata. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee visited the 48-year-old and later said that the operation was successful and he got two new stents inserted. "Sourav is awake and speaking," Mamata Banerjee told reporters after meeting the former India captain. "The operation was successful and I spoke to him and (Sourav's wife) Dona," she added and said she had also congratulated the doctors for a successful operation. According to the media bulletin released by the doctors of Apollo Hospital, Ganguly's vital parameters were stable. "Sourav Ganguly, 48 years old, male has come for a checkup of his cardiac condition. There is no change in his parameters since his last hospitalisation and his vital parameters are stable," the hospital had said earlier. The BCCI president "slept well all night. He had a light breakfast," the senior doctor said.
