  • Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts said - Ganguly's thinking is unique
  • Sourav Ganguly had talked about conducting 4 countries ODI Super Series in 2021
  • It will include England, India, Australia and other top teams.
Game desk . Cricket Australia (CA) has liked BCCI President Sourav Ganguly's suggestion of 4 countries ODI Super Series. CA chief executive Kevin Roberts praised Ganguly's idea, saying, "This is the unique thinking of the BCCI president." In his few months' tenure, he conducted the first day-night test in Kolkata and the result was excellent. Now the proposal of Super Series is also good. However, he has not yet promised to implement it.

Ganguly said in Kolkata that India will play England, Australia and another top team in the annual ODI series starting in 2021. And India will host its first season. But the ICC has not approved the proposed Super Series. Because it consists of more than three teams, which are not part of the ICC's cricket roster. This step is being considered to stop the ICC's exercise of organizing a tournament every calendar year. After a meeting with the BCCI President in London, the England and Wales Cricket Board had said that it was ready to discuss the issue.

CA CEO said- there will be talk about super series on India tour next month

Cricket Australia CEO said, he will come to India and Bangladesh next month to talk on the future cricket calendar. The issue has also been discussed with the New Zealand Cricket Board. Not only this, when the Australian team comes to India for the 3-match ODI series next month, there will also be talk on the One-Day Super Series.

Rashid Latif said- it will fail like the big three

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif called Sourav Ganguly's idea of ​​the tournament a flop. He had said, it would fail in the same way as the Big Three (big cricket playing country) model. This former wicketkeeper feels that by playing such a tournament, these 4 countries want to separate the other member countries, which is not a good idea.
