Ganguly inaugurates DNCC Mayor Cup

Former India captain and the former Board of Cricket Control in India President Sourav Ganguly inaugurated the upcoming Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Cup 2023 on Sunday at a city hotel in Dhaka.

DNCC Mayor Md Atiqul Islam, former Bangladesh national team captains Naimur Rahman Durjoy, Akram Khan, Khaled Masud Pilot, and commentator Athar Ali Khan were present at the program alongside others.

In the program, the DNCC Mayor handed an honourary key to the city to Ganguly, who is the brand ambassador of the tournament.

“Alongside the efforts of Sheikh Hasina, the honourable Prime Minister of Bangladesh, the determination of the Bangladeshi people to create a drug-free society is appreciable. I hope this trend continues,” Ganguly said at the program.

Atiqul informed that Ganguly did not take a penny for his presence in the tournament.

The DNCC Mayor Cup will commence in the first week of March.
