Sourav Ganguly unplugged

Sourav Ganguly has bid adieu to international cricket but he still remains passionate about the sport. IPL is high on his agenda and that`s why he has turned judge to select cheerleaders for the Kolkata Knight Riders on the TV reality show Knights and Angels.

Ganguly spoke to Trans World Features Correspondent Ritesh Sharma on life post retirement, cricket, reality shows and more.

How did this show Knights And Angels happen?

It`s all because of IPL (Indian Premier League). It`s because of cricket I am here and no other reason. And I am really enjoying it. It`s a new experience and I am here choosing cheerleaders.

And it`s a good way to spend some time post retirement, is it not?

Yes, of course. After so many years of continuous cricket, I am finally relaxing. This is a good way to relax though because I am still keeping my association with cricket.
