In July, the International Cricket Council approved the selection of the next president in November. After a meeting in Birmingham, it was decided that after Greg Barkley’s term ends this year, elections would be held by a simple majority and the next president’s term would be from 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2024.
Since then there is speculation about Ganguly’s name. When asked about this, he said, “The post of ICC President is not in my hands.”
The ICC Board has decided that a two-thirds majority is no longer required for the election of the President. Under the new suggestion, the candidate needs 51 percent of the votes.
The Indian team has not been in form for some time now and Ganguly admitted that not doing well in big tournaments is a matter of concern.
He said, “Rohit Sharma’s win percentage is close to 80. India has lost the last three to four matches but before that 35. Lost only five or six out of 40 matches.
“I am sure Rohit and Rahul Dravid will be worried that we haven’t done well in the big tournaments. That will be discussed,” he said. ,
Regarding Virat Kohli’s century, he said, “It is a good thing that Virat played well in the Asia Cup and hopefully he will keep the momentum.”
Women’s fast bowler Jhulan Goswami is going to say goodbye to international cricket after the third and final ODI against England. Describing him as a ‘Legend’, Ganguly said, “Jhulan is a legend. We have had excellent relations in the last three years as BCCI President. She had a stellar career and will continue to be a role model in women’s cricket.
