The former cricketer also thinks that&nbsp;former captain Sourav Ganguly will be an able replacement for BCCI&rsquo;s top spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The BCCI has lost face internationally after this entire saga,&quot; Gavaskar was quoted in an interview to NDTV. &ldquo;We are in for a complete new era for Indian cricket,&quot; added the former cricketer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/sc-removes-anurag-thakur-as-bcci-president--22525\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/article\/anurag-thakur-removed-from-bcci.jpg\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 463px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thakur and Shirke were removed from their respective position for failing to implement the Lodha Panel recommendations.

Remember, in 1999-2000 when Indian cricket was gripped by the match fixing saga, Ganguly was given the Indian team captaincy and he turned it around,&quot; Gavaskar concluded. &nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>With inputs from Interview given to a TV Channel<\/p>\r\n",
