Tufan Ghosh appointed chief operating officer for NCA by BCCI

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday appointed Tufan Ghosh as the chief operating officer of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and he has been tasked with setting up the new NCA.

One of the top professionals in the healthcare and hospitality industry, Ghosh comes with more than 29 years of experience. He was the CEO, Columbia Asia in 2005 and looked after operations right from the time the group’s first hospital came into existence.

The NCA has been a second home for most cricketers across all age groups for skills enhancement, training, strength conditioning, fitness assessment, and recuperation.

Be it pre-season or ahead of an important tour, the NCA regularly hosts camps for national teams, including the women’s teams.

The BCCI now owns a consolidated 40 acres of land at Arebinnamangala village near the Aerospace Park region in Bengaluru where it wishes to set up the new NCA.

"Ghosh will play a key role in setting up the facility and creating a centre of excellence," BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said in a release.

Ghosh is a graduate of Presidency College, Kolkata and a diploma holder in Hotel Management.
