Kolkata: Sourav Ganguly, former Indian captain and President of Indian cricket board, continued to be stable as the nine-member medical board decided against going for any further angioplasty in his heart now. He was admitted to Woodlands Hospital on Saturday morning after a ‘mild heart attack.’

‘‘The consensus of the board was that deferring the angioplasty for now is deemed to be a safer option since Mr Ganguly is stable, without any chest pain and is on optimal medical management,’’ a health bulletin from the hospital said.

Ganguly had undergone coronary angiography soon after his admission in the hospital on Saturday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among a number of high profile leaders who called on the cricketer-turned -administrator to know about his well-being.
