Sourav Ganguly has to work at breakneck speed

Deccan Chronicle  

More than 30 months after Justice RM Lodha dissolved the BCCI, Indian cricket's administrative body will be reconstituted next week. That said, there have been two redeeming developments: the Indian Cricketers Association being formed and second, Sourav Ganguly’s elevation as BCCI president. That key people met with Home Minister Amit Shah before the various positions were finalised, including the last-minute switch from Brijesh Patel to Ganguly as president, is seen as telltale by many observers. For the record, national politics has always played a role in Indian cricket, so Amit Shah’s intervention is hardly new. Ganguly has pooh-poohed suggestions that politics was even discussed in his meeting with Amit Shah though it would be naive to believe that the country’s second most powerful man would not have political gain in his calculations when meeting administrators of the nation’s biggest sport.
