After disappointment at BCCI, Sourav Ganguly set to contest this mega presidential election

With his exit from the post of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President, former Indian cricket team captain, Sourav Ganguly is now set to contest for Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) President.

Outgoing BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, is set to co test for Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) President.

Ganguly is set to give his seat to Roger Binny on October 18. He also confirmed that he will be filing his nomination at CAB on October 18.

The annual general meeting of the CAB is scheduled on October 31 and elections, if any, will be conducted on the same day. The last of filing the nomination is October 22.

However, Ganguly's close associates said that the panel that Ganguly will represent is yet to be decided. In all probability, his elder brother, Snehasis Ganguly, who is the CAB Secretary now, will also be in the fray for the same chair this time as well.

It is yet to be known if CAB's present President, Avishek Dalmia, who occupied the chair after Ganguly became BCCI President, will run again or extend his support to Ganguly.

On October 13, participating at a function of Bandhan Bank, where he is the brand ambassador now, Ganguly broke his silence on his forthcoming exit from the BCCI President's chair and said that all have to face rejections some time or the other.

"No one can continue as the administrator throughout his life. All have to face rejections some time or the other. When you look at quick success it never happens. Remember, one does not become Narendra Modi or Sachin Tendulkar or an Ambani overnight," he said on that day.
