Sourav Ganguly’s phone stolen from home, legendary cricketer raises concern about data theft

Former India cricketer Sourav Ganguly reportedly had his phone stolen from his home in Kolkata, West Bengal. Notably, the star cricketer filed the incident on Saturday, February 11, at the Thakurpukur police station, drawing attention to it. In addition, the former Indian Cricket Board President wrote to the authorities, stating concern that private data was on the phone and urging them to seek action to stop any illegal use.

According to sources, the legendary cricketer was not at home when the theft happened. Notably, the former India skipper says that when he left his phone in a particular place, it went missing. He also mentioned that during that time some renovation work and painting work was going on at his home. However, the star cricketer is deeply concerned about his phone, as his data is interlinked with it.

“I believe my phone was stolen from home. I saw the phone for the last time around 11:30 am on January 19th. Then I tried to find the phone but couldn’t find it. Deeply concerned about losing my phone. Because that phone has multiple contact numbers and access to personal information and accounts. I am requesting to trace the phone or take appropriate action,” Sourav Ganguly wrote in his application while requesting the police to trace the phone as soon as possible as quoted by Hindustan Times Bangla.

Most World Cups not featuring the senior men’s teams are non-profit: Sourav Ganguly

Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly also opened up about U-19 World Cup tournaments not taking place in countries like India as compared to senior tournaments. The well-renowned cricket commentator is hopeful about the U-19 World Cup tournament taking place in host countries like India very soon.

“There is no particular reason to it (India not hosting the U-19 World Cup). The other World Cups are played in India. What’s wrong if this one is played in places where the senior World Cups don’t take place that often? It’s one way of taking the game to other countries. You can say it’s a loss-making tournament. Most World Cups not featuring the senior men’s teams are non-profit,” Sourav Ganguly said.
