Sourav Ganguly is currently in UAE for checking out on the preparations of the IPL 2020. The BCCI President took to social media to share the images of his tour to the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. But here's something that was noticed by the eagle-eyed netizens. Ganguly had blurred the image of a Pakistani cricketer in the background which was a part of hoarding. Ganguly visited the stadium as part of his inspection, along with IPL chairman Brijesh Patel, former IPL chief Rajeev Shukla, and COO Hemang Amin, and officials from Emirates Cricket Board on Monday. Reportedly, the picture blurred by the BCCI chief comprised the names like former Pakistan great Javed Miandad, Rashid Latif, Misbah-ul-Haq, Azhar Mahmood, Danish Kaneria, etc. We still do not know the reason for blurring the snaps.
