Should BCCI omit the rule from the league? Former BCCI president, legendary figure of Indian cricket, Sourav Ganguly, was asked to express his own views regarding this. Additionally, the former captain predicted the future of the Indian National Cricket Team as well.
"Impact player rule is here to stay, when I became the president of the BCCI, the Impact Player had already come in, so it was before that, so it is here to stay, someone will like it, someone will not, but still the better players will prevail," Sourav Ganguly told the news agency PTI.
