Kolkata, July 30 - Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly's induction into cricket administration will be the lone point of interest in an otherwise routine annual general elections of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) Friday with veteran Jagmohan Dalmiya set to retain his president's post unchallenged for one more year.

Dalmiya, a former Indian cricket board and International Cricket Council (ICC) president, is set to be elected unchallenged as the dissident group failed to put up any candidate for the elections. Elections will only be held for the posts of vice-presidents while the two joint secretaries and the treasurer will go uncontested.

For the opposition, not puting up a candidate against Dalmiya, was a tactical move, aimed at giving a year's time to Ganguly to prepare the ground for posing a serious challenge to Dalmiya - a former president of the International Cricket Council and Indian cricket board - in the CAB annual general meeting in 2010.

'Ganguly will represent Mohammedan Sporting in the CAB AGM this year as a club representative. It is too late now for somebody so new to CAB politics to fight against a strong opponent like Dalmiya. We are now looking at 2010,' a leading figure in the opposition camp told IANS, requesting anonymity.

But the opposition will push for Ganguly's inclusions in one of the committees of the CAB.
