After former president N Srinivasan was allowed to buy an IPL franchisee and later it became a controversy, the new BCCI regime is taking all necessary steps to improve its image. Ganguly, who was named in the BCCI advisory committee alongwith Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman, has backed BCCI in it's clean-up act.
"They (BCCI) have extended to everyone who is associated with cricket and I don't see a problem with it because it is just a declaration that you give to the board," Ganguly said during a promotional event here yesterday.
Ganguly is also eager to see how the national team performs in different formats with two set of skippers in Virat Kohli (Test) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (ODI and T20).
"For this two captain's theory, India have never had that and obviously it has happened due to the retirement of MS (Dhoni) from Test matches. But other teams in the world have had it, like Australia, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka. If you win it works, if you don't win it doesn't work," he said.

"I don't see a problem between experienced and non-experienced, it's about how good the person is. You only gain experience when you play," Ganguly said.
"I have lot of faith in Harbhajan, in (Ravichandran) Ashwin and Amit Mishra. Pragyan Ojha is another good left-arm spinner, I think he picked 5 wickets against Australia A. I think they will do well in sub-continent conditions in places like Sri Lanka and India, where the ball spins.
Now a cricket analyst, Ganguly is also keenly following the Ashes, which is tied at 1-1, and backs Australia in the remaining three Tests.
"I am backing Australia. I was little surprised to see Australia losing in Cardiff. It was familiar to the way they won at Lord's and I think in the next three Test matches Australia are ahead," he said.
