    CAB Felicitates Manoj Tiwari With Golden Bat As He Bids Cricket Goodbye

    By IANS News February 18, 2024 • 21:14 PM View: 775
    Former CAB President Avishek Dalmiya: The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Sunday felicitated Bengal captain Manoj Tiwari for piling up a stupendous 10,000-plus runs in First-class cricket on a day when he retired from all forms of cricket. Tiwari was presented with a golden bat and ball memento by CAB President Snehasish Ganguly as the majestic Eden Gardens bid adieu to one of its favourite sons.

    Speaking on the occasion, CAB President Snehasish Ganguly said, “I laud Manoj for the runs he has piled up in a career spanning two decades. Not only has he shored up 10,000 runs in First-class cricket, but another 5000 in List-A matches. The longevity of his career defines his fitness, dedication and passion for the game. "He was hungry to give Bengal another Ranji Trophy and that motivated him to continue in these final years. I know he deserved to play longer for India. But we often do not get what we deserve. You will be remembered as one of the finest cricketers of Bengal and this country. We wish you the very best for your future,” he said.

    Manoj Tiwary got emotional while responding to the facilitation. “I miss my father today who passed away in 2017. My mother and my wife have been my motivation. They complete me.”
