Saurav Ganguly, the outgoing president of BCCI, makes the news again by announcing that he will be running for the role of president of CAB ( Cricket Association of Bengal ). The current president of CAB, Avishek Dalmiya, will join the governing council of IPL.
Ganguly will fill his previous position at the CAB, which he held for five years. He held the post for four years (2015 to 2019) in the past.
Ganguly has announced –
“Yes, I will be contesting the CAB polls,”
He also added – “I plan to file my nomination on October 22. I have been in CAB for five years and as per Lodha rules, I can continue for another four years. So I will finalize my panel on October 20.”
