Know what was the whole matter

In fact, former Indian captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and his wife Donna Ganguly had received death threats through letters. A letter was sent to him by courier. Ganguly's personal secretary had lodged a written complaint in this regard at Thakuparpukar police station.

For the last several months, some unknown person was continuously sending letters containing objectionable comments against Ganguly to the former Indian cricketer. Along with writing hateful words against Saurav and Donna, he had also threatened to kill them and those working for them.

Sourav Ganguly gave statement regarding Mohammed Shami

Ganguly said, 'Shami has performed very well for the Indian team. Only the selectors will be able to tell whether Shami will return to the Indian team or not. Shami's performance in domestic cricket while playing for Bengal was excellent.

Let us tell you that Mohammed Shami has been out of the Indian cricket team for a long time. The news of his return to the team before the ODI World Cup 2027 is coming out many times, but how much truth is there in it. Nothing can be said about this. Shami played his last match in India jersey in March 2025. Shami was not taken back into the team after being a part of the victorious team in the Champions Trophy. Since then he has been waiting to join the Indian cricket team.
