Sangakkara backs Ganguly for ICC top post, admits he is a big fan

Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara has backed Indian former captain Sourav Ganguly for the top position in ICC.

He also admitted that he is a big fan of Ganguly not only because of his stature but also his astute cricket brain.

“I think Sourav definitely can make that change. Quite a big fan of Dada not just because of his stature as a cricketer but I think he has a very astute cricket brain,” Sangakkara, who is currently the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Chairman, told ‘India Today’.

He also added that Ganguly has the best interest in the game and he is unbiased. He also added that he has seen Ganguly’s work even before he became the BCCI president and said that he can build relationships easily.

“He has the best interests of the game at heart and that should not change just because you are the BCCI president or the ECB or SLC or any other cricket board when you are at the ICC.

“Your mindset should be truly international and not just constrained by partisanship in terms of where I come from — am I Indian, Sri Lankan or Australia or English but really understand ‘yes I am a cricketer and what I am doing is what is best for all cricketing countries’.

“I have seen his work even before he took over as the BCCI president, even before administration and coaching, and how he has built relationships with players around the world, his standing in the MCC cricket committee,” he added.

Sangakkara is not the only legend to back Ganguly for the role. Cricket South Africa’s Graeme Smith also backed the Indian cricketer for the role.
