BCCI president Sourav Ganguly's decision to step down as the president of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has saved him from coming under the conflict of interest ambit.

Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association's life member Sanjeev Gupta, who in his complaint on October 4, had stated that Ganguly holds two posts. His first post was of 'administrator/office-bearer' as per BCCI rule 38(4)(m) and his second post as 'office-bearer of a member association' as per rule 1(A)(a) and Rule 38(4)(f).
