Ganguly reveals challenges during his time as BCCI President

The BCCI president spoke on a range of issues in an exclusive interview with the PTI earlier in the month. Gangulky spoke about the several challenges he faced during his time as BCCI President. 

When I became president in 2019, it was with the consent of the members associations of BCCI, and it has been a great experience. You get a chance to work for betterment of Indian cricket and a serious opportunity to change things.

Being able to conduct events in two COVID-19 years was challenging, but BCCI as a team pulled off both IPL and domestic cricket (men and women) well.

When I joined BCCI, I already had five years of experience in administration, having worked as CAB joint secretary and subsequently as president.

You can say in 2014, I was just retired from competitive cricket for two years, having played IPL till 2012, and I was pushed into CAB administration. It was interesting as well as a challenging experience for me.
