Sourav Ganguly admitted to hospital after testing positive for COVID-19

    Sourav Ganguly, the president of the BCCI and a former India captain, was hospitalised to a city hospital on Tuesday after testing positive for COVID-19, according to cricket board insiders.

    Ganguly is double vaccinated and has been travelling extensively, taking part in all professional activities.

    The 49-year-old was rushed to a hospital late on Monday night as a precautionary measure after his RT-PCR test returned positive.

    “He was taken to Woodlands Nursing Home last night. He has been given medication and is currently stable,” a BCCI source, who is keeping track of Ganguly’s health, told PTI.

    Ganguly was admitted to hospital twice earlier this year and underwent emergency angioplasty after having some cardiac issues.
