The former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is likely to be the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal for the second time. According to several reports, the Bengal-born will be submitting the nomination ahead of the Annual General Meeting (AGM). A report from India Today suggests Ganguly's return as an aftermath of his elder brother, aka the present President Snehasish Ganguly's, ineligibility due to the Lodha Committee’s tenure cap. In case Gangalu enters the race, he will be elected as the President for the second time, unopposed. The preparations for the upcoming polls were done in an emergent apex council meeting. Thereafter, as the finalized dates from CAB, the final apex council meeting will be held on August 14, 2025, and September 20 will have the AGM. From 2015 to 2019, Ganguly served his state board as the Secretary and later as the President succeeding Jagmohan Dalmia. He thereafter moved on to BCCI in 2019 serving as BCCI president.

One of his most notable contributions was the successful negotiation of a record-breaking ₹48,000 crore media rights deal for the IPL's 2023–2027 cycle, boosting Indian cricket’s financial strength. He also took concrete steps to elevate women’s cricket by introducing the Women’s T20 Challenge, offering female cricketers a significant platform to shine on. Another key initiative was the development of a modern National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, envisioned to become a hub for grooming future talent with world-class training facilities. Ganguly’s leadership extended beyond national boundaries, enhancing India’s cricketing presence on the global stage. Before leading the BCCI, Ganguly served as CAB President from 2015 to 2019. During this period, he focused on revamping Bengal cricket—modernising infrastructure, promoting professional coaching, and strengthening player development. His efforts led to noticeable improvements in Bengal’s domestic performance. Roger Binny replaced him in 2022.
