The Kolkata Knight Riders’s first camp would be held at the Eden from April 12. According to an official of franchise owner Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt Ltd, coach John Buchanan would step in couple of days prior to that. No confirmation, however, was available on when Australia captain Ricky Ponting would land in the city.

Meanwhile, CAB president Prasun Mukherjee admitted on Monday that the organisation is lagging behind as far as ticket sales is concerned. Tickets for the other seven venues would be available online from Tuesday.“As of now, we still don’t know when the tickets would be available. We are trying to expedite the process. But it’s not in our hands,” he said.

“The agency that was supposed to handle the issue is facing a few teething problems. A high-level Red Chillies’ delegation would arrive on Wednesday. Hopefully, we will wrap it up as soon as possible.”
