Sourav Ganguly’s Pakistan tour brightens

Sourav Ganguly is confident of himself to come back to Indian Cricket team, since he is still good enough to get back into the Indian team. Dejected and beleaguered former captain Sourav Ganguly, kept silence about his non inclusion in the Ahmedabad Test, but opened up for a telephonic interview to news channel CNN-IBN , on Dec 21. A very significant meeting took place in New Delhi on 20th Dec night, between former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly and Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sharad Pawar, at 6 Janpath, the residence of Sharad Pawar. The body language of Sourav Ganguly told the onlookers that the outcry from West Bengal and the pressure by the Jagmohan Dalmiya group has a positive effect on Ganguly’s possible return to the Indian team for the Pakistan tour starting next month.

As expected, Mr Pawar and Ganguly do not divulge what they discussed, and put Rajiv Shukla to answer the media’s queries. BCCI’s Media-Committee chairman Rajiv Shukla gave the statement, “It was a general discussion on the health of Indian cricket and no selection issues were discussed. Both men talked about ways to improve Indian cricket and there was absolutely no talk about selection as it is the prerogative of the selection committee. ”

However there is more news to cheer for the Sourav fans. The Indian contingent has been enlarged to include 16 players instead of 15. The 16th player could be Sourav Ganguly. If the selectors decide to send 15 players, then the person dropped could be Mohammed Kaif, who has had a miserable Test here with scores of 4 and 9. However, all these speculations will end when the selection committee would meet in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on December 24, to pick the squad.

So desifans, keep your fingers crossed !
