Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) think-tank last night put seal on the 22-member senior Bengal squad to be led by veteran Manoj Tiwari for the current domestic season.
In a closed door meeting led by CAB President Sourav Ganguly, the meeting was attended by selectors Arup Bhattacharya and Madan Ghosh, former cricketers Ranadeb Bose, Joydeep Mukherjee, incumbent skipper Manoj Tiwari and Joint Secretary Abhishek Dalmiya. Chairman of selectors Deep Dasgupta, who is away as commentator, was unavailable, but Chief Coach Sairaj Bahutule was taken into the process over phone.
