Kolkata/Agartala, May 23 Former India cricket captain and ex-BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly was on Tuesday roped in as the brand ambassador for Tripura Tourism.

Later, Chowdhury, accompanied by Ganguly and senior Tripura officials, said that "'Dada' has agreed to our proposal to be the brand ambassador for Tripura tourism".
To assume his new task, Ganguly is expected to visit Tripura by the end of June, following his return from an overseas tour.
