Kolkata, Oct 14: The baton of Bengal cricket administration is poised for a generational shift on Thursday, with former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly all set to take over as president of the Cricket Association of Bengal -- a week after a rained out T20 International at the Eden Gardens has seemingly taken some shine off the big change.

While Ganguly replaces the departed Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Jagmohan Dalmiya, the Special General Meeting on the morrow would also see the formal entry of the late cricket czar's son Avishek into cricket administration, completing the change of guard.

Dalmiya junior would be the association's new joint secretary, a post held by Ganguly since July last year. Subir Ganguly is likely to continue as the other joint secretary and Biswarup Dey as the treasurer.
