As part of its "international" seminar on Eden Gardens 150th year celebrations, the Cricket Association of Bengal has plans to invite former cricketers like that of Asif Iqbal who had played his last Test at the Eden.
"It's difficult to disclose the names as the talks are going on at the moment and nothing has been finalised. But we plan to invite former cricketers like that of Asif Iqbal with some memories associated with the iconic stadium," CAB treasurer Biswarup Dey told reporters today.
The CAB also plans to unveil a memorial postal stamp and cover on the occasion with a sketch of the Eden by Jogen Chowdhury.
"He had done a nice job with Sachin Tendulkar's portrait during the 199th and penultimate Test and we will also request him to sketch the Eden of the past and present," the CAB official added.
The CAB also plans to organise the invitational pre-season tournament of about five teams as part of the celebrations in October-November.
