Former India captain Sourav Ganguly was appointed the president of the
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), ending the suspense on who will
take over the state cricket body following the death of Jadmohan Dalmiya
The announcement was made by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, in the presence of
senior CAB officials and state government ministers at the state
secretariat building.
In another major development,Jagmohan Dalmiya's son Avishek was inducted as one of the two joint secretaries replacing the current incumbent
Subir Ganguly.
Subir Ganguly will continue as the other joint secretary while
Biswarup Dey will continue as treasurer.
While the Chief Minister officially made it clear that it was a decision
taken by the CAB officials and she was there to support their bid to
take the game of cricket in the state forward, it was apparent that it
took government interference to annoint Ganguly in place of the late
Dalmiya.
