Sourav Ganguly: Former captain of India and current president of the BCCI, has finally spoken out about his upcoming resignation as the nation's top cricket official after reports of his departure caused a stir.

"No one can continue as the administrator throughout his life. All have to face rejections some time or the other. When you look at quick success it never happens. Remember, one does not become Narendra Modi or Sachin Tendulkar or an Ambani overnight" Ganguly said.

In addition, Ganguly retorted that life was much harder for cricket players and said that he had loved his time as BCCI President very much. Ganguly noted the successes in cricket during his tenure as the Board's chairman, but he insisted that he "cannot continue as the administrator throughout his life."

"However, my life as a cricketer was much more difficult. If you see there had been several developments in Indian cricket during the last three years when I was the BCCI President. We organised cricket during an extremely difficult period of COVID-19 pandemic. The Indian women’s cricket team won the silver medal in the Commonwealth Games. The Indian men’s cricket team had several successes overseas. Still as I said one cannot continue as the administrator throughout his life,", he was quoted as saying at an event.
