Ganguly eyes innings as cricket administrator
Former India captain Saurav Ganguly, who retired last year, wants to use his experience to make a difference in an administrative role, domestic media reported on July 8.
"I'm convinced that I can play a positive role," India's most successful test captain told Times of India.
"Having played the game at the highest level and being part of the system, I know what it takes to make a difference."
The 37-year-old, who played 113 tests and 311 one-day internationals and led India to 21 test wins, could contest the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) elections in Kolkata later this month, it said.

Tendulkar rescues India after claiming record
Sachin Tendulkar eclipsed Brian Lara's world record for most test runs on October 17 to help India reach 311 for five on the first day of the second test against Australia.
Tendulkar passed his target with three runs after tea to beat the 11,953 West Indian Lara scored before he retired from international cricket in 2007.
Tendulkar went on to hit 88 after Australian left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson led a splendid fightback on a good batting pitch.
India, who began well after winning the toss, wobbled after Johnson's double strike before tea contributed to three wickets tumbling for 17 runs. Tendulkar shared in a 142run fifth wicket partnership with Saurav Ganguly to rescue the innings from 163 for four and go past 12,000 runs in tests.
He eventually fell when he edged debutant paceman Peter Siddle to Matthew Hayden at slip off the second new ball late in the day.
Ganguly was 54 not out at the close with Ishant Sharma on two.
Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir scored 67 and added 70 runs with Virender Sehwag (35) for the first wicket and 76 with Rahul Dravid (39) for the next.
