BCCI secretary Jay Shah on Wednesday (June 1) cleared the air amidst rumours of Sourav Ganguly resigning as President of the Indian cricket board.

Ganguly had in cryptic post on his social media accounts suggested that he was planning to start something new that would hopefully help a lot of people. He also thanked everyone who has supported him in his 30-year journey in cricket.

Here is the post: 

Some reports suggested that Ganguly was perhaps moving on from cricket to active politics as he had recently hosted Union Home Minister Amit Shah at his home in Kolkata.

Ganguly, however had clarified that he had no such intention to join politics and that his meeting with the Home Minister was a regular affair since 2008.

"Speculation is rife... but I have known him (Amit Shah) since 2008. While playing, I used to meet him. There's nothing more than that," he said as quoted by NDTV.

Jay Shah, has clarified to PTI that the rumours of Ganguly's resignation are "factually incorrect".

Ganguly has been serving as the BCCI President since 2019 and shall complete his term later this September.
