Kolkata: Minister of Sports Manoj Tiway, who made it into politics in the poll this year, on Monday it was mentioned in the possibility of 39 members by the Bengal Cricket Association.

I will wait and see how it goes, but I don’t rule out playing a few more games for Bengal,” said Tiwane after winning the Shibpur constituency.
The possibility of senior Bengal will have a fitness camp from July 23 in a statement.
This season will also mark the return of former Laxmi captain Ratan Shukla to Cricket, six years after he joined politics.
Shukla will wear a coach hat for the first time, for the bottom side of 23.

Saiding Lahiri has been appointed as assistant coach, while the former Speedster Shib Shankar Paul is a bowling coach for all Bengal team.
