Who is Abhishek Dalmiya? All You Need To Know About Him

As suggested by the Loda Committee and written into the CAB's new constitution, a person can hold office in a state cricket body for six years in a row.

Who is Abhishek Dalmiya? Abhishek Dalmiya is the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), one of India’s most significant state cricket organizations. He will be representing the BCCI on the Indian Premier League Governing Council instead of Mamon Majumdar, who was from the Cricket Association of Mizoram.

Dr. Dalmiya has been head of CAB since February 2020, which is three years ago. As he starts his new job as IPL GC, he is likely to step down as president of the Cricket Association of Bengal. There are also rumors that Sourav Ganguly will return to the CAB after leaving his job as president of the BCCI.

Who is Abhishek Dalmiya?

Jagmohan Dalmiya, who used to be head of both the BCCI and the ICC, is the father of Abhishek Dalmiya. The Dalmiya family is not from Bengal, but they have lived in Kolkata for a long time and run several businesses in West Bengal. Not only that, but his younger brother is Vaishali Dalmiya, who used to be a Trinamool Congress MLA from the Bally district in Howrah, West Bengal.

When he took over Bengal cricket in February 2020, he was the youngest CAB president ever. He did this with Sourav Ganguly’s brother Snehasish Ganguly, who had been the joint secretary of CAB. Snehasish used to play cricket for Bengal.

He is thought to be close with Sourav Ganguly, who used to be the head of the BCCI, and his time on the CAB began when Ganguly became president. Dalmiya’s term as head of the CAB was supposed to end in 2021, but it was extended when the CAB asked the Supreme Court of India to change some of the Lodha committee’s rules.

A person can hold office in a state cricket body for six years in a row, as the Loda Committee recommended and the CAB’s new constitution states.
