I tried to find the phone but couldn't find it. Deeply concerned about the loss of my phone. Because the phone has multiple contact numbers and access to personal information and accounts.

I request you to trace the phone or take appropriate action." HT Bangla quoted Ganguly as saying during the report filed with the police. Meanwhile, a report by India Today notes that Ganguly has expressed concern about the safety of his personal information contained in his phone.

Ganguly said he had last seen the device around 11:30 am and after that time he could not find his phone despite searching exhaustingly. In a recent interaction with RevSportz, Ganguly had said that the U-19 World Cup that is currently underway is a loss making proposition.

He said, "You can say it's a loss-making tournament. Most World Cups not featuring the senior men's teams are non-profit. But that's not the reason the U-19 World Cup hasn't been played in India.
