Ganguly was made the BCCI chief on 23 October 2019. He was previously the chief of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). There is a pending case in the Supreme Court against his name as one cannot hold an official position for six years straight according to the BCCI constitution. As Ganguly was the president of CAB from 2015, his six years period is over. Although, there isn’t any clarity on the issue from Supreme Court and thus, Ganguly will remain the BCCI chief as of now.
