BCPL Season 4 to Open New Pathways for Corporate Cricket Talent: Sourav Ganguly
In his address to the gathering, Sourav Ganguly emphasized the relevance of corporate cricket in building up professional careers.
“When I met Saurabh Jha, I shared how many of us began our journey through corporate cricket. There was no IPL in those days. I worked with Tata Steel and played corporate tournaments, which gave me exposure and recognition. BCPL Season 4 will create similar opportunities and open doors for talented corporate professionals to pursue their cricketing dreams.”
