Ganguly in his tweet said he is embarking on a new journey, although without revealing any further details.
"2022 marks the 30th year since the start of my journey with cricket in 1992. Since then, cricket has given me a lot. Most importantly, it has given me the support of all of you. I want to thank every single person, who has been part of the journey, supported me, and helped me reach where I am today," he wrote in a brief statement.
"Today, I am planning to start something that I feel will probably help a lot of people. I hope you continue your support as I enter this chapter of life."
Ganguly was elected BCCI President in October 2019 and still has four months left in his three-year tenure.

"We have some exciting times in the form of media rights coming up and my colleagues and I are completely focused on the upcoming opportunity and safeguarding the interest of Indian cricket," Shah further stated.
It has been learnt that Ganguly's tweet was related to his upcoming project.

Two outsourced staff booked over file irregularities at Udupi Sub-Registrar’s Office
Udupi: A case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station against two outsourced staff members of the Senior Sub-Registrar’s Office in Udupi for alleged irregularities in handling official files.
According to Deccan Herald, the complaint was filed by V.S. Halamoorthi Rao, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Lokayukta, Udupi, following a surprise inspection conducted on February 27 by the Upa Lokayukta at the Taluk Office complex in Bannanje.
During the inspection of the Senior Sub-Registrar’s office, it was found that Sukesh, an outsourced staff member, had kept eight files related to property and marriage registrations in his personal bag. Another outsourced worker, Sunil, was found in possession of 35 such files in his personal bag.
In total, 43 files reportedly received from the public had not been entered in the official inward register and were kept in their personal custody without authorisation.
The complaint alleges that the two staff members committed criminal misconduct, misused legal provisions, and behaved like government officials while dealing with members of the public visiting the office.
The complaint further stated that despite these alleged acts, the Sub-Registrar, Girish, failed to take note of the irregularities, and prima facie it appears that the actions of the outsourced staff may have been carried out with his support.
Based on the complaint, a case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station under Sections 316(4), 337, 340, 344, and 204 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
