CAB polls to be postponed?

The annual general meeting (AGM) of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), scheduled on July 31, is set to be postponed after a Lodha panel directive reached the association on Wednesday evening.

According to the directive, the state associations must adhere to all the recommendations and ensure all administrative changes are put in place within the six-month deadline set by the Supreme Court. Some CAB members were hopeful that the elections, which were on the AGM agenda, could be conducted after the Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) went ahead with their polls on Tuesday. But the directive clearly stated that all elections in BCCI and state associations should be "kept on hold."

There was no official communication from the CAB on Wednesday, but it was learnt that president Sourav Ganguly will meet all office-bearers on Thursday before announcing the decision. It was also learnt that the BCCI will hold a meeting on Monday with legal experts.
