Former cricketer Sourav Ganguly, popularly dubbed as 'Dada' by his fans, was selected as BCCI's President on Monday (October 14). The date on which Ganguly will be taking charge of the new position is yet to be announced. He is the active president of the Cricket Association of Bengal and will have to step down from that post to accept the BCCI proposal.
Speaking on what he is going to do as BCCI's new President, Ganguly said that he will concentrate on getting team India's 'deserved' revenue from ICC.
“We haven’t received any money from ICC in the last few years. Money in the sense what we deserve. India generates 70-80 per cent of its revenue. So that’s going on to the agenda. Talks and discussions need to happen and we have to find a solution to this as this is not leading anywhere."
Ganguly had smashed 11,363 runs in One-Day cricket and 7,212 runs in Test cricket. He also captioned team India for a few years from 2000. He hold the record for scoring most centuries as an Indian left-handed batsman.
