Shame on CAB for World Cup mess

The ICC decided that Kolkata's Eden Gardens would not be ready in time to host the marquee World Cup clash between India and England on February 27 and Ayaz Memon in Mid-Day asks: how could the Cricket Association of Bengal allow things to come to such pass? This is not merely dereliction of duty, but a slur on Indian cricket.
It is dismaying to say the least that CAB has missed a deadline which was staring them in the face ever since the World Cup schedule was allotted to the sub-continent a few years ago. It riles me further that the Bengal cricket administration did not learn anything from the mess-ups that were brought to light when the countdown for the Commonwealth Games began early last year.
