Fact Check:
The BCCI hasn't announced any such news regarding Ganguly's resignation, Bumrah's central contract, and Pandya's fitness.
Also, the said Twitter handle which tweeted the news regarding Ganguly's resignation, Bumrah missing the contract, and Hardik-Rishabh getting injured, in its bio calls itself a parody account of the BCCI.
Earlier on Thursday (August 11) the said Twitter handle wrote, "This page is just for entertainment purposes. Kindly do not consider my tweets as real official news."
