Sourav Ganguly's CAB Tenure Under Threat Amid Bengal's Political Shake-Up

Sourav Ganguly's reign at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) might be hanging by a thread as political dynamics shift in the state. With elections looming and key office-bearers stepping down, the stability of Ganguly's administration is under serious scrutiny. The Telegraph India reports that internal power plays could disrupt ongoing projects like the Eden Gardens renovation, which Ganguly spearheaded.

The CAB's annual general meeting is set for September 2026, but don't be surprised if elections are called earlier. Rumblings suggest sidelined figures are gearing up for a comeback, meaning Ganguly may need to rally support fast. "These are early days," said an insider, hinting that a reshuffle could be on the horizon that leaves Ganguly's position precarious.

Tensions within the CAB have previously flared over the Bengal Premier League, nearly resulting in a leadership clash with former administrator Avishek Dalmiya. With age limits looming for current office-bearers, the CAB could be heading for a major overhaul. Can Ganguly navigate this political minefield and keep his core team intact? The clock is ticking, and the stakes are sky-high.
