The annual central contracts that players sign (Saha is in Group B with annual retainership of Rs 3 crore) has a clause 6.3, which apparently he has violated.

Steering clear of the drama surrounding the end of Virat Kohli's captaincy tenure, Ganguly answered questions on other sensitive issues like the recently-announced resumption of the Ranji Trophy in two phases, the still awaited decision on India's new Test captain, and start of the Women's IPL.

Big B who is quite active on his social media handle keeps on sharing pictures and videos for his fans. He recently shared an uber-cool picture of himself with a caption reading, "… yup .. you’re damn right .. no fog in the city .. MUMBAI is in the bright .. just brighten us all to be devoid of the void of this COVOID .. err .. you know what I mean."

Late last year, a massive controversy had erupted when the BCCI Ganguly and chief selector contradicted Kohli's claims that he was not asked to stay back as T20 captain.

The BCCI earlier had to put on hold the Ranji Trophy, which was set to begin later this month, and a few other tournaments due to a surge in COVID 19 cases in the country.

Though the former India captain has not been infected with the Omicron variant, his samples taken two days back returned positive for the Delta plus variant of the COVID-19.

The former skipper will be in home isolation under doctors' supervision and has not been infected with the Omicron variant, hospital authorities said.

India registered a comprehensive 113-run win over South Africa in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. It was also India's first-ever Test victory at the Centurion, which is largely considered to be a fortress for South Africa.

Ganguly was rushed to a city hospital on Monday night as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive for COVID-19.

Ganguly, who is double vaccinated, was rushed to Woodlands Hospital on Monday evening as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive.  

The former India captain and chief selector, on his part, opined that Ganguly had no business to speak in the matter.

India captain Virat Kohli's eyeball-grabbing media conference has forced a shell-shocked BCCI into a huddle as it explores its options on how to deal with the crisis.

'No statements, no press conference. We will deal with it, leave it to (the) BCCI,' Ganguly told local mediapersons.

One of the country's most decorated cricketers of all time, Kohli also said that his removal as ODI captain earlier this month intimated by the chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma, only one hand half hours before the Test team for South Africa was announced".  

Ganguly said the selectors felt that multiple leaders in the white-ball format would lead to confusion and that's why the Chetan Sharma-led committee suggested that it's better to have one leader.  

Playing the role of a finisher, Ganguly, who batted at No. 6, smashed two sixes and four boundaries en route to a 20-ball 35. He had to retire -- as per the rules of the match -- and his team fell short by just a run.

India and New Zealand will be squaring off with each other in the second T20I of the three-match series in Ranchi on Friday and in Kolkata for the third clash on Sunday.

The BCCI president says India coach Rahul Dravid and NCA chief VVS Laxman are now set to "give their all" to Indian cricket.
