BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has attested that the BCCI and the ICC are hell bent on getting the sport back to normal and would achieve it within a period of six-seven months. Ganguly also promised that once the vaccine for the coronavirus is out, cricket will make a strong comeback.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, all cricket was postponed indefinitely in mid-March. While there were talks of cricket returning, with England hosting the West Indies in July, nothing has been confirmed yet. Meanwhile, the ICC had suggested various ways to combat the spread of the virus including the ban on saliva for ball-shining purposes. While the IPL still remains suspended, Cricket Australia’s announcement of the dates for series against India left the fate of the T20 World Cup uncertain.

However, former India captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly stated that he is confident of life going back to normal once the vaccine for the virus is developed. He added that the BCCI and the ICC would be doing its best to get cricket back to normal within the next six-seven months.

“This is something that has got the world in sheer shock. I think things will be back on track. We did not have the medicines to take care of it. But over a six-seven months’ period once the vaccine comes up everything will be normal. We have this tremendous resistance in ourselves. I think cricket will be back to normal. Yes, there will be some changes in schedule but think the BCCI and the ICC will be hell bent to get cricket back to normal,” Ganguly said during a live class on ‘Unacademy’ app.

Deemed as one of the most successful Indian captains, Ganguly attested that cricket will make a strong comeback once the vaccine is out and the virus will be like any other health issue with a cure. 

“Cricket will be very strong. There will be different tests, medical examinations for players, but I don’t see it coming in the way of sport and it will go forward. As the vaccine comes out, it’s going to be normal life I think. If you fall sick, whether you have fever, jaundice you pick those medicines and get better.”
