Bengal team is playing good competitive cricket: Snehasish Ganguly

“I’ve read in various parts of the media that CAB is in the process of hiring new coaching staff for the upcoming season,” Snehasish Ganguly stated.

“I’d like to state unequivocally that this information is false. In the middle of a season when the senior Bengal team is playing good competitive cricket, these rumors are unwarranted and detrimental.

Snehasish Ganguly continued, “The team is performing admirably. The coaching staff is performing admirably. CAB is pleased with the team’s present support structure, and any reports to the contrary are untrue and unfounded.”

Sourasish Lahiri, a former Bengal off-spinner, is Lal’s deputy. After the IPL, the Ranji Trophy knockout stage will continue in June.
