After filing his nomination, Ganguly on Monday said that taking care of first-class cricketers and setting the house in order would be top priority for him after assuming office. "My biggest focus will be on first-class cricket. I have been very vocal about taking care of the first-class cricketers. Indian cricket administration has to be the best in the world. We have to get the administration in order," he said. However, Ganguly's appointment will be a short one as he will have to go in for a cooling off period from September 2020, under the new rules. An administrator can only serve six years on the trot.
