A day after the ICC awarded the hosting rights of the 2025 Champions Trophy to Pakistan, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday, said that the government will monitor the security situation in the neighbouring country at that time before taking a decision on whether the India cricket team will travel or not for the global event.
Former BCCI president Thakur stated that the appointment Arun Dhumal, his brother, as the BCCI treasurer is matter of pride for the state.
With his recent appointment, Ganguly became the second Indian captain to hold the top job in BCCI once elected.
Former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly who is all set to become Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) President, on Tuesday shared a picture with all men who are likely to hold respectable positions in the board.
Thakur also expressed hope that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, being a former cricketer, should try to improve the bilateral relations.
Thakur added that over Rs 1 crore will be invested in the project over the next five years.
The top court said since the HPCA, Thakur and others had earlier claimed that the cases were politically motivated, will now the new BJP government withdraw the cases lodged against them.
Thakur was removed as BCCI President by SC after contempt of court.
Anurag Thakur said Virender Sehwag's remark that he missed out on India's coach's post for the lack of patronage should not be taken otherwise.
Anurag Thakur has hailed the exemplary performance of the Indian women's cricket team in the recently concluded ICC Women's World Cup 2017.
