Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said he was "surprised" that his "simple tweet" sparked speculations of him quitting as BCCI president on Wednesday. Last evening, Ganguly issued a statement on his official Twitter handle announcing that he is set to "start something new" that will "help a lot of people." Ganguly later clarified that his tweet has been misinterpreted and it was related to his new business venture. "The rumours doing rounds about Mr Sourav Ganguly stepping down from the post of BCCI President are factually incorrect," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement issued to PTI. "We have some exciting times in the form of media rights coming up and my colleagues and I are completely focused on the upcoming opportunity and safeguarding the interest of Indian cricket," Shah further stated.
