History
Founded in 1928, the CAB has its headquarters in Kolkata and, as agreed with the BCCI, its jurisdiction extends over the entire State of West Bengal.[4] The Association has an Honorary President,[5] many of whom have been well-known cricketers. Former Bengal and India captain Sourav Ganguly was in office from 2015 to 2019. He was succeeded by Avishek Dalmiya, the son of former BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya, until 2022. Snehasish Ganguly, brother of Sourav, has held office since October 2022.
CAB's most prominent role is its management of the State team in national tournaments. Bengal have twice won the prestigious Ranji Trophy, in 1939 and 1990. The team has been runners-up 13 times and only Mumbai have appeared in more finals. CAB also organises international matches being held in West Bengal, especially those being played at Eden Gardens which has hosted Test cricket since 1934.[6]
Internally, the CAB organises various league and knockout tournaments for clubs in the Bengali District Associations. These include age group competitions such as under-13 and under-18. Among the more noted tournaments are:
- CAB Superleague
- CAB First Division League
- CAB Senior Knockout
- CAB One Day League
- CAB Two Day League
- A. N. Ghosh Memorial Trophy
- P. Sen Trophy[7][8]
- J. C. Mukherjee Trophy[9]
