“2022 marks the 30th year since the start of my journey with cricket in 1992. Since then, cricket has given me a lot. Most importantly, it has given me the support of all of you. I want to thank every single person who has been a part of the journey, supported me, and helped me reach where I am today. Today, I am planning to start something that I feel will probably help a lot of people. I hope you continue your support as I enter this chapter of my life,” he wrote.
The tweet went viral as several fans felt that Ganguly has stepped down as BCCI president. However, Jay Shah rubbished the reports and said that all rumours are factually incorrect.
