Former Indian skipper, Sourav Ganguly, who is currently serving as the BCCI president will be traveling to Ahmedabad to attend the first T20I between India and England scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. As per the reports of India Today, Sourav Ganguly recently took the Covid-19 vaccination. Also, Ganguly will be traveling for the first time since his heart issue surfaced in January this year.

Talking about the same during a recent interview with India Today, Ganguly said, “Fit, absolutely fine, I am back to work for a while now. It was a small blemish. I really don’t see it as a scare, as you grow older, adjustments tend to happen. I am very lucky that it was a very small one, it could have been bigger. But they say, you need to address immediately whatever happens. That was the best part of it. Fit and fine, that’s the best part of it.”

He further added, “I will travel and go for the T20Is. I will go to Ahmedabad for either the 2nd or the 3rd T20I. I could not travel then because I was just two weeks out of the hospital. I was not allowed to take a place. Now it’s fine, everything is healthy, I will take the vaccine and then start flying. I am back at work and absolutely fit to be honest. Absolutely spick and span, medical science is so good these days.”
