Nick Hockley, the newly appointed CEO of Cricket Australia, heaped praises on BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and called the former Indian skipper a fantastic character.
"He's just really great. He's a good, down-to-earth guy. I'll tell you what, there's no one that's more passionate about the game. And he's just been an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Under Ganguly, Team India played their first-ever Day/Night Test at the Eden Gardens in 2019. He saved BCCI from major loss after hosting IPL amidst the pandemic situation.
"I know they are really excited about it, it's a big moment for them. I have found them to be very relatable, very human. We have all worked together in a way where everyone understands that we've got to keep cricket going," Hockey added.
