"He (Ganguly) is living with his ailing mother and family, so as a precautionary measure he took the test voluntarily and the report came negative on Friday evening," a source close to the BCCI president told PTI.

In order to safeguard himself from the lethal virus, Ganguly went into home quarantine as part of the standard procedure after Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) secretary Snehasish tested positive for Covid-19.

"He (Snehasish) is doing fine and also handling his office work from the hospital through virtual meetings. We expect him to be released in a couple of days," the source added.

On June 20, Snehasish moved to their ancestral house in Behala where Sourav is based, after his family - wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law - tested positive for coronavirus at his Mominpur residence.
