Former U19 World Cup winner Shreevats Goswami, on Thursday, alleged that a match in the Cricket Association of Bengal’s (CAB) first-division league seemed fixed from how some dismissals took place during the game. Goswami shared videos of a game between Mohammedan Sporting and Town Club on his Facebook page.

Goswami alleged that Mohammedan Sporting batters seemed to be intentionally getting out to concede seven points to Town Club which is associated with former Team India manager Debabrata Das, who is the current CAB secretary. Das was the Indian team’s administrative manager during the tour of England in 2022.
Goswami posted a couple of videos on his Facebook that implicate possible match-fixing scenarios.
In the first video, a right-handed batter is seen leaving the ball coming straight to his stumps as he walks off the field. In the second video, a left-hander came out of the crease to a wide delivery to be stumped.
While Debabrata Das was not available for a reaction, CAB president Snehasish Ganguly said they have sought the umpires’ and observers’ reports.
“We have called a tournament committee meeting on March 2 to take up the matter,” Snehasish Ganguly said.
The three-day match got over at the 22 Yards Academy in Salt Lake with Town Club securing seven points on Wednesday. Shakib Habib Gandhi’s 223 steered Town Club to 446. In reply, Mohammaden Sporting made 281/9 with Joyjit Basu top-scoring with a 100.
