Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly didn’t read too much on Wednesday about the issue of some Indian players refusing to eat the food provided by the T20 World Cup organizers after a practice session in Sydney. Cold sandwiches and falafel (seasoned chickpea puree or other legumes) were served to Indian players after practice on Tuesday, and some declined the offer, opting instead for meals in their hotel rooms.
India will face the Netherlands on Thursday in their second T20 World Cup match.
“I’m sure BCCI will sort this out,” Ganguly said as he spoke to reporters from the Calcutta Sports Journalists’ Club here.
Ganguly also spoke on Wednesday about Ireland’s stunning win over England in the T20 World Cup, a five-run victory via the Duckworth-Lewis method at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Ganguly called it a “little contest,” Ganguly said, “This is not the real result, I’m sure they would bounce back. You can’t help it when it rains.” Ganguly congratulated Commonwealth Games medalists Saurav Ghosal and Achita Sheuli along with other sports achievers from Bengal in the renovated Maidan tent of the Calcutta Sports Journalists’ Club.
“It’s the reward of a hard year for an athlete. I remember looking up to the CSJC Annual Awards when I was young,” said Ganguly, who grew nostalgic when he was named the CSJC’s best cricketer during his formative years. the year.

Ganguly also congratulated former Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary who returned to cricket after becoming minister of state sports and played a key role in last season’s Ranji Trophy semi-final for two centuries and two half centuries.
“I have a dream – to win the Ranji trophy for Bengal. I’m at the end of my career and that’s why I keep fighting,” said 36-year-old Tiwary.
