The cricketing fraternity was left in shock when 22-year-old Bengal prospect Priyajit Ghosh suffered a fatal heart attack during a gym session on Friday. The promising batter from Bolpur, who had impressed at age-group levels, collapsed while working out, cutting short a career that held immense potential.
Ghosh, who dreamed of representing Bengal in Ranji Trophy, had already made his mark as the highest run-scorer in CAB's U-16 inter-district tournament. His sudden demise has left teammates and coaches devastated.
The Bengal Pro T20 league shared their condolences on their official X handle, sharing a picture of the deceased with the caption, "Gone too soon, but never forgotten. We at Bengal ProT20 League deeply mourn the untimely passing of Priyajit Ghosh. May his soul rest in peace."
