Ganguly is expected to meet captain Virat Kohli for the first time since becoming the BCCI President during the meeting on October 24.

Since getting the top job in Indian cricket administration, Ganguly has received congratulatory messages from across the world cutting across every spectrum.

From those in the Indian team who have wished him are Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan among others.

India, who have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series against South Africa, play the third rubber in Ranchi from 19 October.

Quizzed if he would be attending it, Ganguly said the Indian Super League inauguration will force him to visit Kochi on October 20.

Earlier, speaking to IANS, Ganguly made it clear that discussing the idea of the Indian team playing pink-ball cricket would definitely be on the top of his to-do-list after he takes over.

"We will deal with it. It is too early for me to comment on how we will work on this, but let me take office and then we will discuss this with every member," he said.

Ganguly has always been vocal about how day-night Tests is the way forward and that this Indian team under Kohli has the arsenal to do well in the format.

"Day-night Test is the way forward. Every country has to play day-night Test, that's a long-term future for Test cricket. They (India) are a good side, they will win day-night Test matches also. There is no difference in day-night Test matches and day Tests. It's just a different ball. They are such class players, they can win," Ganguly said.
