BCCI President Sourav Ganguly asserted the decision to have the former India captain, MS Dhoni, on board was not an overnight call and that they wanted him for a long time.
“Jay (Shah) and I were discussing for a long time about how to involve Dhoni. He has won 2 World Cups after all and has not left cricket completely. Hopefully, he will be a good addition. It can’t possibly be bad. Let’s see,” Sourav Ganguly said while talking to Salam Cricket.
