Former India captain and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, Sourav Ganguly has joined Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Capitals as the Director of Cricket. In IPL 2019, Ganguly was associated with the Delhi-based franchise as an 'Advisor' before becoming the president of the Indian cricket board. Ganguly will also oversee the operations of the ILT20 team Dubai Capitals and the SA T20 league side Pretoria Capitals.
“Yes, Sourav will be back with Delhi Capitals from this year. The discussions and modalities are over,” an IPL source tracking developments told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
“He has worked with the franchise, shares a good comfort level with owners and if he would have worked in IPL, it would have always been with DC,” the source added.
During his playing days in the cash-rich league, the former India skipper led franchises like Kolkata Knight Riders and Pune Warriors India.
Ganguly stepped down from the post of BCCI president in October 2022 and Roger Binny took charge.
