BCCI president and former India captain Sourav Ganguly Saturday suffered a "mild" heart attack and had to undergo a quick "primary angioplasty" to clear a blocked coronary artery, a doctor said.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday retained the three-member disciplinary committee probing charges of financial irregularities against Lalit Modi, rejecting the former Indian Premier League chairman's demand for a reconstitution of the panel.

India's participation in Olympics will be decided only by the general body of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which in all likelihood won't change its present stance of not taking part as they don't want to follow the Olympic charter.

Ganguly's comment came after some reports stated that concerned with poor ticket sales especially during the India-Sri Lanka series opener last month at EdenGardens, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president has pushed for day-night Test matches at home.
With India's Champions Trophy participation in doubt, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is still willing to pay the Board of Control for Cricket in India $100 million more than the original share from the revamped revenue model.
