Kolkata, Jul 21: Sourav Ganguly on Friday raised a banner of revolt against his long-time mentor Jagmohan Dalmiya, accusing the former Cricket Board Chief of "playing" with his career.

The former Indian captain, who lost his place in the Indian team after a spat with coach Greg Chappell, chose the upcoming elections for Presidentship of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to hit out at Dalmiya, facing a challenge for the post from Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherkjee.

Currently playing county cricket in England, Ganguly, who is desperately seeking to make a comeback into the national team, has sent an e-mail to his brother Snehashish supporting Mukherjee's candidature. Mukherjee released the e-mail at a press conference here.

"People who leak e-mails and sacrifice players' careers should be heavily punished. There are people in CAB who are playing with players' careers to suit them. They should not be allowed to go scot-free as it takes years of hard work to reach a certain level in sports," Ganguly said in the e-mail.
