New Delhi: Former India captain and BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly was about to return to the cricket field after almost 10 years, but has now taken a break from it. In fact, Ganguly has withdrawn his name from the Legends Cricket League citing personal reasons and lack of time. Let us know that, on the occasion of The Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, a match is to be played between The Indian Maharaja and the World Giants on September 16 this year.  

The match between the two legendary teams will be played at the historic Eden Gardens ground in Kolkata. A source close to Ganguly has informed that Dada will not play this match due to personal reasons. Later, Ganguly also confirmed this while talking to the media. Ganguly has made it clear that he will not play in this match due to lack of time. He said "Yes, I am not playing due to lack of time. I was going to play only one charity match.'' At the same time, cricket fans of Kolkata are also very excited about this match. There is a fierce fight for tickets. One of the major reasons for this was Ganguly's landing on the field, but now the fans will not see Dada playing on the ground.

In this match, Dada was also to captain the India Maharaja team. Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh were also coming on the field under his captaincy, but now except Ganguly, the rest of the players will be seen playing. The source has informed that Ganguly has cited a lack of time to not play the match. Ganguly's childhood friend Sanjay Das plays a key role in the project. When questioned, he refused to comment.
