If elected, Ganguly will succeed his brother Snehasish, who has been holding the top job for almost three years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI would like to thank everyone for their support. At CAB, there is no opposition; everyone is a part of this Association. We will all work together to take CAB &amp; Bengal cricket ahead. There are important events coming up at Eden Gardens, like India\u2019s Test match against South Africa, the T20 World Cup, and the Bengal Pro T20 League. I will try and do my best,\u201d Ganguly said in a post by CAB\u2019s Instagram account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly previously served as the CAB president from 2015 to 2019. But he had to leave the CAB President post in 2019 after being elected as BCCI President, a position he held till 2022, before being replaced by former India fast bowler Roger Binny.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apart from Ganguly, Nitish Ranjan Dutta, Bablu Koley, Madan Mohan Ghosh, and Sanjay Das filed their nominations as well for Vice President, Secretary, Joint Secretary, and Treasurer posts, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly previously served as the CAB president from 2015 to 2019.
