Dalmiya to honour Ganguly

Jagmohan Dalmiya, the President of the ICC and the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal is planning to felicitate the new Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. Dalmiya, who returned to Calcutta on Sunday, said that discussions were on at the CAB to honour Ganguly. Sitting in his chamber at the Eden Gardens, Dalmiya said, ``I am happy for Sourav. He has virtually grown up in front of us. He deserved the Indian captaincy. I am sure that he will do quite well in his new role.''

Ganguly in fact made his mark in Bengal cricket playing for Rajasthan club, which incidentally is still run by Dalmiya. In fact the present President of the CAB has played a very important role in the development of Ganguly.
