Ganguly had gone to Bengaluru to hold a meeting with the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Chief Rahul Dravid. Reportedly, both the former cricketers discussed the future roadmap of the NCA.
In recent times, much has been talked about the institution as to how it has deteriorated from being the supply line of Indian cricket to a rehabilitation centre for the injured players.
But with Dravid and Ganguly, it is being expected that there could be a new dawn for NCA. A new facility, other than the one adjoining the Chinnaswamy Stadium, would be built and the former cricketers visited the proposed land for it.
