#3 Ganguly to hold talks with ECB about four-nation series

The proposed four-nation tournament is Ganguly's brainchild.

Former England pacer and Current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly is all set to fly to England to hold talks with ECB about the much-anticipated four-nation series proposed by Ganguly himself.

Immediately after taking over as the BCCI president last year, Ganguly had revealed the idea of a four-nation series involving Australia, England, India, and another top nation. Although the idea attracted a lot of criticism, Ganguly and BCCI are confident of hosting the series in India for the first time.

"Australia, England, India and another top team will feature in the Super Series which begins in 2021 and the first edition of the tournament will be played in India. We have very good relations with the ECB and the meeting went off very well.”

“Yes, Ganguly headed to the UK from the Eden Gardens on Wednesday and there will be talks around the 4-nation tournament during his stay there. Cricket Australia officials could also join in. That depends on how things progress as some things need looking into.”
