Kolkata, Dec 27 (IANS) Former Indian cricket board president Jagmohan Dalmiya Wednesday resigned from the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president's post.
In his resignation letter addressed to the members of the working committee of the CAB through the joint secretary, Dalmiya said: 'As I feel that the game of cricket in Bengal is being threatened and hounded owing to pre-determined and vindictive move of the present BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) regime I have decided to resign as the president of CAB.'
'I will continue to fight against any injustice on my own accord. I am sure that my stand will be vindicated through the new process of law in which I have full confidence,' he wrote in the letter hours before the CAB working committee was to meet here.
'I am also confident that I will fully regain the opportunity to continue to serve the game of cricket with all honour,' Dalmiya wrote.
On the question of a successor in the CAB, he said he was not the right person to comment on that but would like to see universally accepted CAB member Biswanath Dutt as next president.
Dalmiya was this month expelled from the BCCI for life on corruption charges and his expulsion was on the agenda of the working committee meeting Wednesday.
