Kolkata, Oct 21: The Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to bear the entire expenditure for the treatment of leading cricket star Sourav Ganguly, who is now recuperating in a private nursing home after a double surgery for an abscess on his left thigh. "We will foot all the bills. We want that he should get the best possible treatment. Money should and will not be a problem," BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmia said here today.
"We are also prepared to bear all the expenses if Ganguly needs to call in another doctor," Dalmiya, who visited the Indian skipper last evening, said. Ganguly, who went under surgeon's scalpel twice within five days last week, has already been ruled out for the first two matches of the triangular limited over series beginning on October 23.
India play New Zealand in the tournament opener in Chennai before taking on Australia in Gwalior on October 26. Ganguly, who had earlier missed the second Test against New Zealand in Mohali due to the same problem, has been advised by the doctors to stay put in the nursing home at least till Saturday as he needed daily dressing.
