Ever since Ganguly has been appointed as the BCCI boss, he has been a busy many and has taken a lot of steps already towards better administration of the game of cricket in India. It was Ganguly who proposed the idea of India playing a Day-Night Test as Eden Garden hosted the historic Pink-Ball Test against Bangladesh.
Among many of his agendas are making contracts for first-class cricketers and a proposed four-nation tournament involving England, Australia, India and a potential fourth member yet to be finalised.
