Sourav Ganguly Tests Negative for COVID-19

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has tested negative for COVID-19, the test results revealed on Saturday.

As being reported, the former Indian captain has been in home quarantine for more than a week after his elder brother Snehasish Ganguly tested positive for coronavirus.

“He (Ganguly) is living with his ailing mother and family, so as a precautionary measure he took the test voluntarily and the report came negative on Friday evening,” according to a source close to the BCCI president.

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) secretary Snehasish is recovering well and is expected to be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.


“He is doing fine and also handling his office work from the hospital through virtual meetings. We expect him to be released in a couple of days,” the source added.

On June 20th, Snehasish’s family including his wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law along their domestic help had tested positive for COVID-19 at their Mominpur residence.
