‘CAB will be tireless in organising the best possible farewell for Sachin. He had called me personally. We will definitely invite her family and mother,’ CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya said, adding a meeting has been called to chalk out the details.
Terming it an incredible moment, the former ICC president said, ‘His mother wished to watch the last match at home so we had to support it. She truly deserved it. But at the same time, we felt Kolkata should not be deprived. ‘Eden being the largest cricket stadium in the country became the winning point. It was befitting that Kolkata got the Test,’ Dalmiya said about getting the opening Test of the series versus the West Indies.
Saluting Tendulkar for his immense contribution the CAB chief said, ‘He could have played as longer.’
