She claimed that sending Ganguly to the ICC is the only option to make up for his "removal" and provide compensation. She urged with PM Modi to see that Ganguly be brought before the ICC. "He is depriving himself. We are proud of him," she said.

World Cup champion Roger Binny is expected to succeed Ganguly as head of the BCCI. Prior to the BCCI's annual general meeting, which is due on October 18, the former India all-rounder is expected to win an uncontested election for president.
