The lecture will be given ahead of the India-Sri Lanka Test series in November. Former India captain and Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president, Sourav Ganguly, has invited batting great Kumar Sangakkara to deliver Jagmohan Dalmiya Memorial Lecture ahead of the India-Sri Lanka Test series in November. "I have spoken to him (Sangakkara) for the Lecture and we will finalise the date soon," Ganguly told reporters on Wednesday at Eden Gardens. Last year too, prior to the India-New Zealand Test in September-October, the CAB had planned to stage the lecture. But it could not take place, as it coincided with the BCCI special general meeting which kept all state associations busy.
