Sourav Ganguly has not resigned as BCCI president, according to Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). After posting a cryptic tweet about launching "something that I feel would definitely help a lot of people," speculation over Ganguly's future in the role began.

Sourav Ganguly, the former India captain, sent a cryptic tweet about his "new journey" on Wednesday, sparking concern over his future as BCCI President, forcing cricket board secretary Jay Shah to explain that he has not resigned.

Ganguly said in a tweet that he is starting on a new journey, but gave no other specifics. "The year 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary of the commencement of my cricket career, which began in 1992. Cricket has given me a lot since then. Most significantly, it has provided me with the support of each and every one of you."I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, who has supported me, and who has helped me get to where I am now." He said in a brief statement.

Ganguly's tweet created a buzz on social media, with many people, including media organizations, speculating about his future. The rumors that Sourav Ganguly is stepping down as BCCI President are false, according to BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who released a statement to PTI. We're approaching some exciting times in terms of media rights, and my colleagues and I are entirely focused on the upcoming opportunity and defending Indian cricket's interests, Shah added. Ganguly's tweet was said to be about his future project, according to sources.

Sourav Ganguly as a BCCI President has sorted out some domestic contracts of players. According to Ganguly, it will be the first order of business because domestic players are the potential rockstars of Indian cricket. He claimed it is where Indian cricket's Dhonis, Kohlis, Rahanes, and Rohit Sharmas may be discovered. He also stated that getting the structure and finances of the domestic contract of players figured out will be his first concern. They would establish a finance committee for the contract system to focus on the financial health of first-class cricketers.
