When asked about Ganguly’s speculation earlier in the press conference on Tuesday, MCL chairman Zafar Shah responded “I don’t know what is the situation right now,”.
“I just heard he is injured. I haven’t spoken to Libra Legends yet but he will be there for the opening match, so no need to worry about it,” he assured the return of Dada on field soon, in the end.
