Retired Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly took pot shots at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), saying its rules were not the same for all cricketers.
To a query whether he could have served the Indian team well had he continued to play at the top level like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly told Bengali television channel Star Ananda: "Yes, I had the ability.
Had I played, I would have performed. But the rules are not the same for everyone."u00a0 Ganguly retired from international cricket after the home series against Australia late last year.
Meanwhile, amidst speculation that he is gearing up to take on incumbent Jagmohan Dalmiya in the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) presidential elections next year, Ganguly described the former cricket board chief as a 'legend' in the game's administration.
"He is a legend in cricket administration, and he will be," Ganguly said. To another query about his probable clash with Dalmiya in the CAB administration, he said: "Both of us have the same goal, to take forward Bengal cricket."u00a0
