An official statement from the Cricket Association of Bengal is awaited, but it is learnt that the state body has accepted his resignation. 바카라Coaching a state team is a tough job and I'm aging. It's nine months of cricket in a year and I'm fatigued.
바카라I am aging and just told them that I cannot continue,바카라 Lal said. 바카라The future is bright for Bengal I hope they go on to win the title from here,바카라 he added. As per sources, the CAB is already on the lookout for a new coach with highly successful Chandrakant Pandit, who guided Madhya Pradesh to their first-ever Ranji Trophy title this season and homegrown Laxmi Ratan Shukla, on their radar.
Having overcome deadly cancer, Lal, a cricketer-turned-commentator, took up the role ahead of the 2018-19 season. The 66-year-old guided Bengal to their first Ranji Trophy final, in 2020, after 13 years.
Under Lal, Bengal maintained their consistency and made a semifinal finish when Ranji Trophy was back after the COVID-19 pandemic last season.
