Dravid is in the right position. He is happy with his coaching responsibilities.
Our goody good boy Dravid is playing long game for right reasons and winning hearts and minds of new crop by nurturing them. Gill, Pant, Prithvi, Vihari, Mavi, Nagarkoti, Sunder and every new player love/respect Dravid. Once the new generation replace the old guard Virat & co then you could imagine what's going to happen.

I don't think Sachin has any desire to take charge of the administration. He would have prepared himself in advance if he had wanted to. On the other hand, Dravid is in the right position. He is happy with his coaching responsibilities. I don't think Dravid has any interest in fulfilling the responsibilities of BCCI or ICC. Saurav Ganguli has been in charge of BCCI for a long time. He is suitable for BCCI or ICC
Even during their playing days, Sourav Ganguly was the more aggressive one out of the trio, while Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid were more mild natured. However, Sachin was the first to venture in to politics/administration, when he became a nominated member of the parliament. However, his term as parliamentarian was very unproductive and he might have decided against further participating in management after that.

It is impossible, there are many other people who are trying presidency for ICC, already BCCI supported Sourav Ganguly as president for BCCI. Now he is Cardiac arrest, he needs to take some rest, he needs to give the opportunity to fellow friends like Sachin and Rahul Dravid in order to focus on the future of Indian Cricket.
If Sachin or Dravid is interested, then it will be good. But among these three, only Sourav Ganguly has shown any interest in cricket administration. Dravid seems to be happy with his coaching responsibilities and he may not jump in to administration anytime soon. And yes.. Ganguly recently underwent hospitalization. But he was discharged after a few days and now he is doing fine.
Saurav Ganguly can win this spot without any serious problem but as JSRAW already mention he love to stay at BCCI because its much better place for him and after completing his tenure if he likes then he can manage this seat as well because he is good in leadership with very strong back up from his own board and few other boards as well for this spot about Sangakkara can stay in England for few spots like Michael Holding because he is also doing good here with different things.
I am not sure whether the other teams would agree to an Indian chairmanship of the ICC. This was one of the reasons why the Big 3 supported Barclay of New Zealand rather than putting up their own candidate. Also, Ganguly didn't had much of administrative experience before he became the BCCI president. Let him stay with BCCI for some more time, before he moves to the ICC.

Is anyone watching the match between Bangladesh and West Indies? Bangladesh is the host of the series. In today's match, Bangladesh decided to bowl after winning the toss. West Indies lost all their wickets by just 122 runs. Shakib bowled only 7.2 years for Bangladesh. He was able to take 4 wickets for 8 runs. Great bowling. Mustafiz and Hasan Mahmud took 3 and 2 wickets respectively. I hope Bangladesh will win today's match easily
Exceptional comeback to the international cricket by Shakib Al Hasan. He picked up 4 wickets after conceding just 8 runs in 7 overs. West Indies included 6 debutants in their squad and apart from Kyle Mayers, none of them performed well. With such an inexperienced squad, I am not expecting the West Indies to perform any miracles during this series.

Small correction, He was President of the Cricket association of Bengal and had 4ish years of experience under his belt before becoming the BCCI president.
In that case, I need to take back my words. A couple of years as the BCCI president would give him enough experience before he aims for the ICC post. However, he may face opposition from two completely different circles. First of all, the cartel of businessmen who currently control the ICC would oppose him to tooth and nail. And secondly, the test nations who are not part of the Big3+NZ cabal would oppose someone from the big 3 becoming the ICC chairman (unless they get written assurances).

Bangladesh vs West Indies tour starting from today ( 3 ODI + 2 Tests). Shakib is back in the international game after ban.

I also think that Sourav Ganguly is not fully mentally ready to be the president of the ICC at the moment. He will serve as the President of BCCI for a few more years. Then maybe he will fight for the presidency of ICC. And if he wants to fight for the presidency, BCCI is ready to give him full support.
That depends on a few things. Sourav Ganguly is reported to be close to BJP, the ruling party of India. The next Indian general elections are due in mid-2024. So he needs to make his moves before that, if he want assured support from the BCCI and the Indian government. But the biggest challenge is likely to be from the smaller countries, who don't want anyone from the big 3 as the ICC chairman. The relations are likely to sour further, as India has announced that they are not going to take part in this year's Asia Cup. Also, there are rumors that the IPL window may be extended for another month, eating up around 25% of the international calendar.
Saurav Ganguly can win this spot without any serious problem but as JSRAW already mention he love to stay at BCCI because its much better place for him and after completing his tenure if he likes then he can manage this seat as well because he is good in leadership with very strong back up from his own board and few other boards as well for this spot about Sangakkara can stay in England for few spots like Michael Holding because he is also doing good here with different things.

If there is a maximum of one year term, then Ganguly may need to vacate the post very soon. He may do well as the ICC president, but with the cricketing world divided in to Big three (+ New Zealand) and the non-Big three groups, that sounds risky to me. I would like him to continue as the BCCI president for the next few years. He has just started with his reforms and a few years are needed to implement them. If they change the BCCI president every year or so, then there will be hardly any stability.
It will be very difficult for Sangakkara to compete for the presidency of the ICC. But it is very easy for Sourav Ganguly. I hope I will see Sourav as the president of ICC. If he wants to run for the presidency of the ICC, the BCCI will give him full support.
I heard that Sourav Ganguly recently suffered a cardiac attack and with his health not looking good, do you think that he will be running for these positions. I hope he is recovering from that and i was surprised when i heard the news as he was looking healthy and was a sportsman and he is relatively still young. Not too keen on the politics but Sangakkara is a good choice.Gangully recoverd already, as far as ICC seat goes i think he's going to stick with the BCCI for next 4-5 years, their might be some chance after that. Sangakkara is excellent choice but i believe he doesn't have that kind of backing even his own cricket board doesn't support him much.
If I am not wrong, the supreme court of India has already enforced term limits on the post of BCCI president. So Sourav won't be able to continue for 4-5 years as the BCCI president. I guess after his term as the BCCI president is over, then he will target the post of ICC chairman. But again, that won't be something that the parasitic businessmen gang would be happy about.

Its not easy for Sangakkara to next president of ICC and its also too early talk about this all he need some good time and good favour of big 3 which is not easy because here most of boards are fighting for their own sack and they will never allow person like this to be in line of this place but if he will able then surely its could be great for game of cricket.
That's true. The businessmen/politician gang (including people like Giles Clarke, N Srinivasan and Wally Edwards) have held power for so long and they will not give up their control that easily. If they do that, then their relevance will end completely. Even recently, BCCI was controlled by Srinivasan, before Ganguly became the president with the support from the ruling party. But ECB and CA are still controlled by the businessmen, along with NZC.
I did not mean that Sachin or Ponting should be given the responsibility of the president of ICC. I have shown them as an example. If a respected former cricketer like them takes charge of the ICC, the overall development of the ICC will be achieved, I wanted to means this. It could be Sourav Ganguly or Kumar Sangakara. But that person must be a former and respected player. Who has received the love of many people. I also think that Saurav or Sangakkara is the right person to serve as the president of the ICC.
I have checked the list of former presidents and chairmen of the ICC. From Narayanaswami Srinivasan to Greg Barclay, all of the chairmen were businessmen, with no relation with cricket. And talking about the ICC presidents, only three out of the 12 presidents were actually cricketers - Clyde Walcott from West Indies, Colin Cowdrey of England and Zaheer Abbas from Pakistan.
Before the elections for the chairman post was conducted, there were rumors that Kumar Sangakara would be one of the candidates. I was literally praying for that to happen, because I knew that he would do a lot of good to the sport. But just a few weeks before the election, he got in to some spat with the SLCB and the local politicians, and eventually he dropped the idea of contesting the elections. That was a big loss to cricket.
