Former India skipper and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly has denied the reports of his participation in the upcoming second edition of Legends League Cricket (LLC).

Earlier, LLC organizers in a press release had quoted Ganguly as saying, ‘it is going to be a lot of fun playing with other legends.’ However, Ganguly has now cleared the air that he will not be taking part in the second edition of the LLC.
