NEW DELHI, (Reuters) – Former India captain Saurav  Ganguly, who retired last year, wants to use his experience to  make a difference in an administrative role, domestic media  reported yesterday.

“I’m convinced that I can play a positive role,” India’s  most successful test captain told Times of India. “Having  played the game at the highest level and being part of the  system, I know what it takes to make a difference.”

The 37-year-old, who played 113 tests and 311 one-day  internationals and led India to 21 test wins, could contest the  Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) elections in Kolkata later  this month, it said.

“At some point, I will find a way to get into the CAB where  people have known me since I was a kid,” Ganguly told the  newspaper.

“I have respect for them and I’m sure they will appreciate  my concern for Bengal cricket and the difference I can make.”

Ganguly is already a member of the Board of Control for  Cricket in India’s (BCCI) technical committee.

Asked if he wanted to one day head the national board, he  said: “It’s a possibility, but right now I’m not looking that  far ahead. I intend to take it step-by-step.”
