Ganguly stays away, Dalmiya set for another term as CAB chief

Kolkata, July 24: Jagmohan Dalmiya is set for yet another innings at the helm of Cricket Association of Bengal as there was nobody, including former India captain Sourav Ganguly, to challenge the former BCCI president on the last day of filing CAB nominations here today.

Ganguly apparently gave Dalmiya a walkover after failing to manage the required numbers.

There was no challenge for Dalmiya camp’s two joint secretaries – Arun Mitra and Biswarup Dey – and treasurer Subir Ganguly either.

The only challenge came from Howrah district’s Abhijit Dutta who filed his paper against the four sitting Vice Presidents – Samar Kar, Shiv Kumar Kalyani, Arijit Datta and Timir Ghosh.

Thus the CAB annual general body meeting of July 31 will be a drab affair with Dalmiya retaining his grip over the association.
