After the nomination process on Tuesday, Ganguly was the last one to leave the BCCI office and rolled up the glasses of his car window while leaving.
Ganguly was heavily criticised in the BCCI meeting for his underperformance of his role as the President of the board. BCCI members discussed among themselves how the former India captain ambushed BCCI sponsors by endorsing rival brand. The 50-year wanted to continue as President, but things didn’t fall in place for him.
They were informal gatherings of the State Representatives outside the headquarters where they commented on the future of the soon to be ex BCCI President. Some say he would head back to his home in Kolkata, some suggest that he would go back to Delhi, suggesting Delhi Capitals maybe, perhaps to work as a director of the Indian Premier League franchise. On the other hand, Jay Shah will continue to act as the BCCI secretary.
