Sourav Ganguly withdraws, as his older brother Snehasish will take over as the new president of the Cricket Association of Bengal

Sourav’s Brother set to become New CAB President

Ganguly declared last week that he will run in the upcoming Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) elections after Roger Binny took over as BCCI president, but now he has since made the decision.

Sourav Ganguly, a former BCCI executive, has withdrawn from the Cricket Association of Bengal’s presidential election. Snehasish Ganguly, his brother, is expected to take over as head of the cricket organization.

CAB Other Board Members

The CAB President is going to be his brother. In the meantime, Amalendu Biswas submitted his application for the role of vice president, Naresh Ojha for the secretary position, Debabrata Das for the joint-secretary position, and Prabir Chakraborty for the position of treasurer at CAB.

Sourav’s next plan

As Sourav Ganguly has previously stated, he will run for CAB president in the future but decided against it because he served as the organization’s head from 2015 to 2019. Avishek Dalmiya, Jagmohan Dalmiya’s son, took over as CAB president after his father left to become the BCCI’s president. After the expiration of Avishek Dalmiya’s term, Snehasish Ganguly, Sourav’s brother, will assume leadership.
