Azharuddin Supports Sourav Ganguly’s Bid to Conduct Day/Night Tests

The former captain of India, Mohammed Azharuddin, has supported the statements of the president of the BCCI, Sourav Ganguly, to carry out day / night tests.

The president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association is happy that the patron Virat Kohli is also on the same page as the president of BCCI.

“It’s good if the captain is nice as Dada. It’s a good experiment. You’ll know if the public will like it or not. It must be implemented,” Azharuddin said during the congratulation ceremony.



Azhar, who was Ganguly’s first international captain, is happy to see him grow in his role as administrator.

“I am very happy that Ganguly has become the president of BCCI. He is one of the best people and an outstanding human being. One of the best players who won so many tournaments. He played cricket on his terms and as president of BCCI I also hope let him do it”. play that in your term too, “he said.

Azhar, who made his debut in the test at Eden Gardens with a century and then had some memorable moments in this field, including the captaincy saving hundreds and the victory of the Hero Cup, said he is number two in terms of popularity.

“With the advent of Ganguly, I became number two, because he is the local boy here. Then, after that, Laxman came,” he said in a clearer vein standing in the days with Ganguly and Laxman by his side. .

Azhar fondly recalled his starting days and thanked former Bengal captain and newly formed president of the Cricketers Association of India, Ashok Malhotra, for defending his case during an Iranian Cup match, which used to be a trial for National team selection.

“When I was first selected for the Irani Trophy. I wasn’t going to play that game, but he (Malhotra) told Kapil Paaji that you have to play with this guy. I can’t forget that.”

“I got 50 races in that game and got recognition. It’s nice to see him here after a long time,” Azharuddin said on the sidelines of Sourav Ganguly’s congratulations after becoming president of the BCCI.

Malhotra, who was elected president of the ICA unanimously, was also part of the congratulation ceremony.

“Every time I come to Eden Gardens, I have no words to say. People really love me here. When I first played in India, I thought people loved me more in Bengal,” Azhar said.

“I thank the people of Bengal from the bottom of my heart. They have gathered around me during the good and bad times. I thought it gave a little joy. I got more from the people of Bengal.”
