Following BCCI&rsquo;s decision to postpone the Indian Premier League after several players and support staff tested positive for Covid-19, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) decided to give its employees a break for a week.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Our preparations were over. We could have started the tournament from next day itself,&rdquo; CAB secretary Snehasish Ganguly told mid-day. &nbsp;
Joint secretary Debabrata Das said: &ldquo;We had kept ready the Jadavpur University Ground for practice. We also installed floodlights so that no team complain about the facility.&rdquo;
The Kolkata leg of the IPL was supposed to begin on May 9.&nbsp;
Snehasish said that the CAB will demand the organisation expenses from the cricket board against bills.
&ldquo;It is unfortunate that the prestigious tournament had to be postponed, but we fully understand that. People&rsquo;s lives are first priority. It&rsquo;s bad luck, a great number of people have been affected by this postponement. Yes, we are disheartened, but we have to accept it,&rdquo; CAB president Avishek Dalmiya said.
CAB is also keen to check the status of Bengal cricketers who participated in the IPL after Sunrisers Hyderabad&rsquo;s India and Bengal wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha tested positive on Tuesday.
