The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly not too pleased with Cricket Association Of Bengal's (CAB) official announcement of the ticket prices for the ODI World Cup matches at Eden Gardens. It is being learnt that the state association had not consulted the BCCI before it's decision to announce the ticket prices of the much-anticipated fixtures last week. The same has been claimed in a report carried by Telegraph India.
Former BCCI and CAB President Sourav Ganguly was at the Eden Garden on Monday for nearly two hours. When asked if he had any suggestion for the state association in this regard, the ex-India captain said: "This is totally the CAB’s jurisdiction. They’ll deal with it," as quoted by telegraphindia.com.
The same report also quoted a senior CAB officer who claified that the younger of the Ganguly brothers was at the Eden Garden to have a look at the renovation work going on ahead of the World Cup.
"Sourav was here mainly to know how Eden Gardens’ renovation was going, while we also discussed aboutstadium upgradation," the senior was officer said.
It remains to be seen whether the ticket prices remain the same or have to be revised but the CAB is hopeful of finding a resolution "at the earliest."

Notably, if India secure a place in the final four, they will play their semifinal match at the Wankhede Stadium but if India are up against Pakistan in this knock-out match, then it will happen at the Eden Garden.
