‘There was no damage to the dressing room’: Snehasish Ganguly on fire scare at Eden Gardens | Cricket News

A fire broke out at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Wednesday at 11:50 PM after announcing the revised 2023 50-over World Cup fixtures.
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) President Snehasish Ganguly speaking to reporters after the incident said, “A fire broke out last night at around 11.50 pm. People working saw smoke and then the fire. Immediately two fire tenders were pressed into action and flames doused in no time.”
“There was no damage to the dressing room as such. Only some burnt cables. The cause of the fire was from the heating of the sauna heater from which sparks ignited the stacks of towels close .” He added.
The CAB President further said, “CESC people came and saw the damages to the cables and have advised us and we will complete changing the cables as recommended in a couple of days.”
“Besides this it is work as usual. Our deadlines are not affected. Our plans are not affected. And certainly there is no sabotage angle as a certain section of the media is trying to spin,” he added.

Eden Gardens will host five matches during the World Cup, including Pakan’s matches against Bangladesh (October 31) and England (November 11).
