CAB seeks tri-series or marquee game for 2028 centenary at Eden Gardens

The Cricket Association of Bengal wants to host a special tri-series or marquee game involving the Indian team at Eden Gardens to mark its centenary year in 2028. CAB president Sourav Ganguly said the association will write to the BCCI to ensure the celebration includes a significant match.

The BCCI will also celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2028 and is considering an India versus Rest of the World XI match as part of year-long commemorations beginning in December 2027. A committee is expected to oversee the events though no final decisions have been made.

India has never played an international match against an ICC World XI. A Rest of the World XI has previously played nine international matches against other teams with the most recent fixture coming in 2018.
