Sourav Ganguly outlines plans for Bengal cricket & Eden Gardens after second term as CAB chief; ‘we want to produce…’

Sourav Ganguly returned to the helm of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Monday after six years as the former India captain was elected unopposed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at a city hotel. The 53-year-old had earlier served as CAB president from 2015 to 2019 before taking over as the chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Sourav, who recently was announced as the head coach of Pretoria Capitals in upcoming edition of SA20, replaced his elder brother and former Bengal cricketer Snehasish Ganguly, who stepped down after completing his six-year tenure.

The new CAB panel led by Ganguly will also have Bablu Kolay (secretary), Madan Mohan Ghosh (joint-secretary), Sanjay Das (treasurer) and Anu Dutta (vice-president). Ganguly will also represent CAB in the BCCI's AGM on Sunday, where Mithun Manhas will be announced as new Indian cricket board president, replacing 1983 World Cup-winner Roger Binny.
