The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly believes that the quality of Indian football has improved over the last 6 years with the inception of the Indian Super League (ISL). Interacting with broadcaster Anant Tyagi on the official Instagram handle of ISL on Thursday, Ganguly spoke about how the league has shaped the fate of Indian football.
Talking about the difficulties faced by players in the bio-secure bubble, Ganguly said: "Lot of players who played in the Indian Premier League said that they did not understand the difficulty of staying in the bio-bubble as they were concerned with what was happening in the ground and I think it would be same with the players in the ISL as well."
Ganguly also highlighted why it is paramount for every club to have more people in the squad for a tournament that is being played in the times of coronavirus. "These are COVID requirements, you need to have more people in the squad, you need a bit more of backup when you are playing such a long tournament. ISL is a six-month tournament, it is important that you have a long squad, I haven't followed the schedule yet, but a bigger squad is important for a six-month-long tournament," said Ganguly.
