CAB pledges to modernise its medical unit

Kolkata, July 1: The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Monday observed the birth anniversary of Bidhan Chandra Roy, former Chief Minister of West Bengal as well as an eminent physician.

It was Roy who first felt that in independent India, Eden Gardens ought to be the rightful home of the state's cricket headquarters. 

National Doctor's Day is celebrated in his memory every year in India on July 1. On this day, the CAB in the presence of various members who had assembled to pay tribute to Roy, decided to uplift the facilities available at its medical unit that is located at the Dr. B. C. Roy Club House at Eden Gardens.

On the occasion, CAB Joint Secretary Avishek Dalmiya said: "On this important day of the CAB Calendar, we take the pledge to uplift the facilities at our medical unit by installing modern equipment and revamping the medical infrastructure for the welfare of our players."

A meeting with the Doctors and Medical Sub Committee members would be convened shortly to take the matter forward.
