Former Indian skipper and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly will now be discharged on Thursday, the Woodlands Hospital has stated in its latest medical bulletin.
Ganguly had suffered a 'mild heart attack' during a workout session at his Behala residence on January 2. He had been moved to the Woodlands Hospital that day itself where he underwent angioplasty.
The 48-year-old had three blocked coronary arteries and a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage.
"Mr Ganguly will be discharged tomorrow as he wants to stay back one more day," the hospital said on Wednesday morning.

"Sourav Ganguly is fit and he can get back to normal life as it was. He can be discharged tomorrow," Dr Shetty said on Tuesday.
