The Cricket Association of Bengal secretary and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly’s elder brother, Snehasish Ganguly has tested positive for Covid-19. The laboratory has recommended a “repeat sample” for confirmation.

Snehasish, a former Bengal first-class player, has been admitted to the hospital after his COVID-19 report came positive.

“He was suffering from fever for the last few days and his test report came positive today. He’s been admitted to Belle Vue Hospital,” a CAB official said.

“The reports arrived late in the evening. As per health protocols, even Sourav will have to be in-home quarantine for a stipulated period,” a source close to the BCCI President added.
