The former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president and current BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly has offered Eden Gardens’ indoor facility and the players dormitory to the West Bengal government to create a temporary medical facility to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If the government asks us, we will certainly hand over the facility. Anything that is need of the hour, we will do it. There is absolutely no problem,” Ganguly was quoted as saying by PTI.
The world’s richest cricket board, the BCCI has not yet pledged any donations or a fund to fight the novel coronavirus. Speaking about that, the former Indian captain said he will have words with BCCI Secretary Jay Shah before making a call.
Coronavirus is spreading in India very fast in the last few days and India prime minister Narendra Modi has lockdown India for the 21 days starting from last night.
Sourav Ganguly is also saddened to see the Kolkata image in the last few days and posted this message on his Twitter account.
‘’Never thought would see my city like this .. stay safe .. this will change soon for the better ...love and affection to all ‘’ said Ganguly is his twitter account
