Xtra Time Web Desk: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly on Thursday met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Nabanna. The meeting lasted for about half an hour. According to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, it was a courtesy visit by Sourav.
“Sourav Ganguly met me today at Nabanna. We had given a plot of land at Khel Nagari to Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to build a cricket stadium. But it was found that there is a water body and hence a full-fledged cricket stadium cannot be built there. He requested if an alternate land can be given to CAB” said CM Mamata Banerjee in her press briefing at Nabanna.
It was speculated that the BCCI President was meeting the West Bengal CM to discuss about the upcoming PlayOff matches for the ongoing IPL 2022 season. The IPL playoffs will be played at the Eden Gardens with a hundred percent capacity. The dates are yet to be announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Eden Gardens is slated to host the first qualifier and Eliminator.
