Former England captain David Gower feels that former India captain and current president of BCCI Sourav Ganguly has the right "political skills" to lead the International Cricket Council one day and he has already shown his capability as BCCI president, which is a "far tougher job".

The former left-hander is pretty much impressed with Ganguly's leadership skills and believes that he can certainly head the global body in the future.

"One thing I have learnt over the years is that if you are going to run BCCI, you need to be many, many things. Having a reputation like he (Ganguly) has is a very good start, but you need to be a very deft politician. You need to have control of a million different things," Gower told who referred being president of the BCCI is the toughest job in the world cricket.

"We all know about the immense following for cricket in India. So it is indeed a wonderful thing to behold. Sourav has the toughest task imaginable in charge of BCCI, but so far I would say the signs are very good. He has listened, given his own opinion and has pulled strings gently," he said.

He also thinks that political skills are a must needed thing in administration and Sourav Ganguly has all the qualities to lead the ICC.

"He is a very, very good man and has those political skills. He has the right attitude and can keep things together and will do good job. And if you do a good job as BCCI chief in the future, who knows?" he said.

However, the entire world has been fighting against the global pandemic novel coronavirus, all the sporting events have been either postponed or cancelled across the globe. The 13th edition of Indian Premier League has also been postponed now for the time being. Now there is a doubt on the upcoming T20 World Cup too which is scheduled to take place in Australia later this year because of the coronavirus outbreak.
