Ahead of the 91st Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the BCCI in Mumbai on Tuesday, there were enough speculations about the issue of International Cricket Council (ICC) chairmanship and whether India was to send a candidate for the top post.

More so, after Sourav Ganguly's exit as the BCCI president was all but decided and initial reports had claimed that the former India captain may be fielded by the BCCI.

However, sources have confirmed that there was no discussion to field a candidate for ICC chairman at the AGM. The last date for filing the nominations for the ICC top job is October 20.

This comes a day after West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee batted for Ganguly, urging prime minister Narendra Modi to send the former BCCI President to the apex cricket body.
