Following Bengal's dismal show in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the CAB
top brass expressed its disappointment and assured a thorough review. It is
informed by CAB Media Team. Here the whole thing released by CAB Media.
"We are deeply disappointed with the performance of the Bengal
team in Vijay Hazare Trophy. We had expected a much better performance from the
team. In fact the CAB Office Bearers will soon call a review meeting with the
coach, captain and selectors to do an in-depth post mortem. It is absolutely
important to find out the reasons for this kind of performance and address the
issues. The performance of the support staffs will also reviewed," CAB
President Avishek Dalmiya said.
"We are also chalking out a detailed plan to roll out vision
2025 as a continuation of Vision 2020. Last year it could not be implemented
because of the pandemic. But this year we are already working on the blueprint
for Vision 2025. This time the focus will also be on age group cricket and
harnessing and developing young talents to create a robust supply line and a
strong bench strength," said Mr Dalmiya added.
Hony. Secretary Snehashis Ganguly said: " I have directed all
the players in the Bengal squad to report for the one-day tournaments
immediately. No excuses will be entertained without valid reasons. Besides we
will be doing a detailed post mortem and we will get to the bottom of this
performance."
"The CAB has left no stones unturned to see that the players
get enough pre-season practice. We have been doing fitness camps indoors from
September 2020 immediately after the lockdown was lifted. Then maintaining all
Covid protocols camps were held in Kalyani for build up towards the season.
Vision camp with VVS Laxman was done at JU Second Campus. Practice matches were
organised, team bonding sessions were held, and the Bengal T20 Challenge was
organised keeping in mind the need for some valuable match practice for the
players. So we need to analyse what is going wrong." he added.
Bengal coach Arun Lal, who was dissatisfied with the performance of
the team after a closed door meeting with Mr Dalmiya, said: "A set of dos
and don'ts will be given to the players on behavioural expectations and
maintaining fitness standards ahead of next season."
Despite all the efforts the poor results have certainly not gone
down well with the CAB top brass.
