BCCI President Sourav Ganguly is likely to be discharged from the Woodlands Hospital on January 6.

Ganguly had been rushed to the Woodlands Hospital on Saturday and after angioplasty, he has been in a stable condition.

A nine-member board of senior doctors discussed Sourav Ganguly’s condition on Monday and reached a consensus that though necessary, angioplasty can be deferred to a later date as he is stable, Woodlands Hospital MD and CEO Dr Rupali Basu said. Renowned cardiologists Dr Devi Shetty and Dr RK Panda participated in the meeting through a virtual platform while another expert from the US was part of the discussion over the phone.
