BCCI Presꩵident Sourav Ganguly has been prescribed home quarantine after his elder brother Snehasish Ganguly was tested COVID-19 positive on Wednesday.
Even Abhishek Dalmia, the President of Cricket Association of Benꦐgal (CAB), has been advised home quarantine, after coming in contact with Snehasish, who is also the General Secretary of CAB.
“The reports arrived latꦆe in the evening. As per health protocols, even Sourav will꧂ have to be in home quarantine for a stipulated period,” Sourav’s close aide told PTI.
Last week both Dalmia and Snehasish met when Kolkata Police requested for space below a section of gallerie💯s as a quarantine facility. The requisition was made for the personnel who were tested positive with coronavirus.

Reportedly, 55-year-old Snehasish was admitted in Belle V𒉰ue Hospital, Wednesday night onwa⛄rds. The former Bengal cricketer resides in the same residence as Sourav.
It was only a few weeks back when Sourav’s elder brother’s kins were diagnosed COVID-19 positiv🐓e. It is learnt that Snehasish shifted 🌟to his ancestral property in Behala after his wife and in-laws were diagnosed positive at their Mominpur residence.
Earlier, during an interview, Ganguly suggested that his brother is at aꦿ greater risk of getting infected with the virus, due to his frequent factory visit.
“He (Snehasish) 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 close ꩲto the matter quoted.
