The BCCI is not pleased with the Cricket Association Bengal releasing the ICC World Cup 2023 Ticket prices without confirming with the apex cricketing body of the country. CAB President Snehasish Ganguly announced the ticket prices of the matches to be taken place at the Eden Gardens a few days ago.
The BCCI is not pleased with the outcome and is apparently irked with the outcome. The Eden Gardens is set to host 5 matches for the ICC World Cup that includes India vs South Africa and the Second Semi Final of the tournament.

Former BCCI President and Snehasish Ganguly’s brother Sourav Ganguly visited the Eden Gardens to inspect the ground. When he was enquired off the same, Sourav replied “This is totally the CAB’s jurisdiction. They’ll deal with it.”
A senior CAB officer later said: “Sourav was here mainly to know how Eden Gardens’ renovation was going, while we also discussed about stadium upgradation.”
