CAB president Avishek Dalmiya had said earlier that the facility would be made functional by March.
Meanwhile, Ganguly on Saturday confirmed that the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be a truncated affair.
The season was due to start on March 29 but has since been deferred to April 15 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the country and around the world.
"If it happens, it has to be truncated because if it starts on April 15, then anyway 15 days are gone. How truncated, how many games, I can't tell at the moment," Ganguly told reporters after meeting officials from IPL franchises.
Ganguly said that even a call on whether to play the matches behind closed doors can be considered only after April 15 and that it is "too premature" to consider back-up plans in case the season cannot be held even after that date.
"Allow us a week and then we will figure out how things go around in the world and decide," he said. "We will reassess the situation every week. We will (coordinate) with the (authorities) and workaround."
Ganguly said that the board has not yet set any cut-off date to host the tournament. "We can't say that at the moment. As much as we want the IPL to happen, we are also careful about the security of the people," he said.
