'Many good things in 3 years as board president'KOLKATA: Sourav Ganguly seems to have reconciled with the inevitable. With five days of his tenure as the BCCI president still remaining, he is already referring to it in the past tense. "I was the CAB president for five years. Then I was the Board president for three years," he said at a promotional event, while reflecting on his days as an administrator. "In these three years, so many good things have happened. We had IPL during the Covid pandemic, such difficult times for all of us. We won the U-19 World Cup. The broadcast rights went for an all-time high. And, I wish the senior women team had won the Commonwealth Games gold, they could have beaten Australia. These were great moments for me as an administrator," he said. The reference came after a philosophical Ganguly said "nothing is permanent", whether it is being a player or an administrator. "I have been an administrator, now I will move on to something else."

The journey as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seems to be coming to an end for Sourav Ganguly who first took up the job in 2019. Roger Binny, who was a part of India's World Cup-winning squad in 1983, is said to be the front-runner for the job that will be vacated by Ganguly. Though an official announcement on the matter is yet to be made, former India head coach Ravi Shastri is delighted to see Binny being the one taking up the top spot in the board.
Since taking over the reins as Pakistan captain, Babar Azam has truly taken the men's national cricket team forward. With Babar at the helm, Pakistan have produced some memorable performances.

In the press conference after the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in New Zealand on Thursday, Babar was asked about the criticism from a journalist over his captaincy. The Pakistan skipper gave a polite yet firm response to the question.
