Asked if he would be speaking to the Bangladesh Cricket Board in capacity of BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly said it is an internal matter.

The Bangladesh cricketers went on strike on Monday, saying that they wouldn’t take part in any cricket activity until their demands are addressed by their board. While their strike does put a question mark on their upcoming tour of India, BCCI President-elect Sourav Ganguly is confident that the players will sort the issue with the board and the series won’t be affected.
