A fire broke out in the dressing room of the Eden Gardens, but was brought under control quickly without causing much damage, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) clarified. The incident happened late on Wednesday (August 9) night during the renovation work that is currently going on at the stadium ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023. 

CAB President Snehasish Ganguly on Thursday said that everything is under control and it will not affect preparations for the World Cup or the deadlines set.
