Asian region will benefit with Ganguly as BCCI president: Arjuna Ranatunga.

KARACHI -- Sri Lanka's former captain Arjuna Ranatunga believes that Saurav Ganguly will be Indian cricket board's successful president. The 1996-world cup winning captain Ranatunga has himself experienced the presidentship of his national cricket board, though his tenure ended after 11 months. Speaking exclusively, he said, "It has been a good move by the ex-India captain to run the richest governing body. I have no doubts about his capabilities and he will certainly be a successful leader". "Having played cricket for about 15 years and then running the administration will be his biggest achievement.

With Ganguly taking over the charge, not only India but other Asian countries will benefit". "Cricketers know the value of money better because they have earned money with hard work on the field and they will not try to rob the same", he further added. "I have been knowing Ganguly as a great fighter and a straight forward man. I have huge respect for him.
