He further added, “Arun Dhumal is the new governing council of IPL, and Abhishek Dalmiya is also a member of the council, Khairu Jamal Majumdar has also been nominated for the post of council member.”

The BCCI is more political than ever in the current times. The secretary is Amit Shah’s son. Incoming treasurer Ashish Shelar is a big leader of BJP in Maharashtra politics, Arun Dhumal is the younger brother of Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, President of IPL.

Ganguly has no chance to stay in BCCI:-

Incoming Apex Council member Rohan Jaitley is the son of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. So, without any political backing or backing the ideology of BJP, Ganguly had no chance to remain in the BCCI.

The future lines of Sourav Ganguly are still unclear. He was offered the role of IPL chairman. But he refused.
