Club files Sourav Ganguly’s nomination as CAB joint secretary

“We have sent his nomination papers. He represents Barisha Sporting as the General Secretary. I’m not going to comment anything beyond this before the AGM,” Barisha Sporting president Arup Chatterjee told PTI.

He further said there’s a “possibility” of Ganguly, who’s currently doing commentary in the ongoing Test series in England, attending the AGM despite the third Test beginning on the same day.

While Ganguly will succeed Sujan Mukherjee whose four-year term will expire this month, there will be three new vice-presidents in Samar Paul, Sudip Biswas, Amiya Kumar Auddy in place of the outgoing trio of Alok Nandy, Sambhunath Poddar and Subhas Kundu.

In another change to the CAB panel, Sibaji Dutta will be inducted into the board of trustees.

All this will be finalised after 4pm Saturday, the deadline for filing the nomination papers.
