Calcutta: The Cricket Association of Bengal, in a hot and stuffy ceremony in the Eden Gardens campus, gave away a virtual gallery of prizes in its annual awards ceremony Friday.

Receiving the Kartick Bose Lifetime Achievement Award from association president Jagmohan Dalmiya, Premangshu Chatterjee ? a left-arm medium pacer of repute, who played for Bengal in 26 matches between 1946-47 and 1959-60 and skippered the state in four ? said it was a “special award” and “great that I am receiving a trophy named after my guru Kartick Bose.”

Chatterjee, whose spell of eight for 59 gave Bengal a ten-wicket win over Madhya Pradesh in the 1955-56 Ranji Trophy semi-final, also received Rs 1,00,000 as part of the award, and a blazer.

Among other recipients, from chief guest Ashok Bhattacharya, the state minister for urban development and municipal affairs, were Cricketer of the Year and Highest Run-Getter Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Best Fast Bowler and Highest Wicket-Taker Ranadeb Bose, Best Junior Cricketer Binod Kumar Patra and others.
