Tata Sports Club is trying to rope in Sourav Ganguly for the BCCI’s inaugural Corporate tournament in the first week of September. The former India captain is an employee of Tata Tea and should he be free of commitments, he may turn out for the Bombay House team after many years. Ganguly is expected to get back to the team management in a few days.
“We are talking to him to ascertain his availability. We have many current and past players, mainly in Mumbai and Jamshedpur. Dilip Vengsarkar and Milind Rege are also with the Tata Group and we will give shape to the team,” said Prakash Puranik, Cricket Secretary and Joint Secretary, Tata Sports Club.
The BCCI has estimated an expenditure of around Rs. 5 crore for the tournament. Though the Sahara group has offered to be the title sponsor, the BCCI may conduct the competition using its resources. The running costs of the tournament, except the travel expenses of the teams, will be borne by the BCCI.
