"I am convinced that I can play a positive role. Having played the game at the highest level and being part of the system, I know what it takes to make a difference," he told a leading newspaper. "At some point, I will find a way to get into the CAB where people have known me since I was a kid. I have respect for them and I am sure they will appreciate my concern for Bengal cricket and the difference I can make. I am in no hurry," he added.
