Snehasish Ganguly belongs to the Ganguly family of Kolkata, West Bengal. He took up cricket in the city's competitive club and age-group circuit, which has historically served as the principal pathway to the Bengal state side. His younger brother, Sourav Ganguly, went on to play Test and One Day International cricket for India and to lead the national team.
Snehasish played first-class cricket for Bengal in tournaments organised under the aegis of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, including the Ranji Trophy, the premier domestic first-class competition in India. He was active on the Bengal domestic scene during a period that overlapped with the early career of his brother Sourav.
While Snehasish Ganguly's playing career remained at the domestic level, he is recognised within Bengal cricket circles both for his own contribution as a left-handed batsman and as a member of the prominent cricketing family that produced Sourav Ganguly.
