Newly appointed CAB President Snehasish Ganguly shares a cordial relationship with Wriddhiman Saha who left West Bengal and joined Tripura as mentor-cum-player.
Under Arun Lal, Bengal reached the Ranji Trophy final after 13 years in 2020. In the previous edition, which finished recently, Lal guided Bengal to a semifinal finish.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly had earlier stated that he would be contesting the CAB presidential elections. His elder brother Snehasish Gamguly is set to be elected uncontested.
Sourav Ganguly was the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president for four years between 2015 to 2019 before coming to the BCCI.
