BCCI President Sourav Ganguly might be released from the hospital on Saturday given that he is stable and if the results of the medical examinations to be conducted on him return normal. This was said in a statement by an official of the establishment.

“Ganguly’s health condition is stable. He slept well on Friday night and had light food in the morning,” the official told PTI.

Doctors are scheduled to conduct a few medical examinations on the 48-year-old Ganguly to decide whether he is fit to be discharged from the hospital, he said.

Sourav Ganguly's health stable after second angioplasty; thorough checkup to be carried out

Ganguly had been rushed to the hospital after complaining of chest pains again and underwent a fresh angioplasty and two more stents were implanted to clear his clogged coronary arteries. He was hospitalized on Wednesday for the second time in a month due to his cardiac condition.

He had suffered a mild heart attack earlier this month and was diagnosed with Triple Vessel Disease. He had undergone an angioplasty procedure in January as well during which a stent was inserted to clear a blocked artery.
