BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) President Sourav Ganguly’s elder brother Snehashish Ganguly’s wife and in-laws have tested positive for COVID-19.

Snehashish, who represented Bengal on 77 occasions across formats in his decade-long playing career before becoming the current secretary of CAB (Cricket Association of Bengal), also underwent a Test but has been tested negative unlike his wife and her parents.

“All the four complained of some health issues, which were similar to the symptoms of COVID-19 when they were staying at another residence and not at [Sourav] Ganguly’s ancestral house in Behala. After testing positive, all the four were shifted to a private nursing home,” a senior official of the department said in a statement.

As far as the cricket fraternity is concerned, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, former batsman Taufeeq Umar, former first-class player Zafar Sarfaraz and former Scotland spinner Majid Haq are some illustrious names who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Talking about Sourav Ganguly, the former India captain is doing the rounds across social media platforms today on the back of the 24th anniversary of his Test debut. Read some of the Twitter reactions below:
