"If government asks us, we will certainly hand over the facility. Anything that is need of the hour, we will do it. There is absolutely no problem," Ganguly was quoted as saying by PTI.

Speaking about that, the former Indian captain said he will have a word with BCCI Secretary Jay Shah before making a call. Earlier on Tuesday evening, Ganguly said the empty roads in his home city Kolkata, owing to a nationwide lockdown to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, are the kind of scenes he never thought he would witness in his lifetime. "Never thought would see my city like this .. stay safe .. this will change soon for the better …love and affection to all…," Ganguly posted on his Twitter page alongside images of deserted roads. The coronavirus outbreak has forced postponement or cancellation of almost every sports event in the country. (Inputs and image from theindianexpress.com)
