16.10.2022 - 05:49 timesofindia.indiatimes.com

cricket board’s (BCCI) president, former India captain Sourav Ganguly has decided to file nomination for the post of president at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).

The move has come as a surprise because he had reportedly declined the board’s offer to become the IPL chairman on October 11.

Ganguly confirmed to TOI that he will be contesting the CAB elections and he intends to file his nomination on October 22 after deciding on his panel.

This has put him in pole position to become the president of his home association for the second time. Ganguly will travel to Mumbai on October 18 to chair the AGM as BCCI president and hand over the reins to the new regime.
