This follows Ganguly’s recent tweet, which read, “2022 marks the 30th year since I began my cricket career in 1992.” Cricket has given me a lot since then. Most significantly, it has provided me with the support of each and every one of you. I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone who has been a part of my path, supported me, and assisted me in getting to where I am now. Today, I intend to begin something that I believe will benefit a large number of people. I hope you will continue to support me as I embark on this next phase of my life.”
