Ganguly facing axe

Eurosport - Mon, 08 Sep 16:01:00 2008

India batsman Sourav Ganguly's international future is hanging in the balance.

CRICKET - India's Sourav Ganguly hits out - 0

The 36-year-old was omitted from the Rest of India squad chosen to face Ranji Trophy winners Delhi in the five-day Irani Cup game from September 24.

Ganguly was among the senior batsmen who fared poorly in last month's 2-1 Test series defeat in Sri Lanka.

Irani Cup performances are likely to form the basis for selecting the squad for the four-Test home series against Australia starting early next month.

  2. A fantastic player, but now is out of form perhaps­ because of his age.He should be retired from ODI to­ provide oppurtunity to young talents like­ Uthhapa,Raina,etc. So he should concentrate himself on­ Test Creket and stop playing bad shorts.

  3. There has been too much cricket events in the past­ three years. Players are overwhelmed
    with­ cricket...cricket..cricket!Most of the older players­ and younger players have been stressed out and burnt­ out!So a little break...a couple of pujas...some dachna­ to the poor will help Ganguly....Money is­ important...but taking a break and serving society a­ little will undoubtedly make him a better cricketer!

  4. Ohhhh Ganguly! Such a fine player of the cricket ball­ but I guess old age is playing a part on his­ performance. I think he should retire and personally­ him playing test matches would benefit the younger­ members of the team. And then maybe on performance the­ ones who play dirty politics may allow him back on the­ team!

    But does he deserve it? Answer... Not sure. I­ think money has messed-up his head!

  5. He is undoubtedly a "Great player"
    he is the­ most successfull captain after Md Azarrudin. He is­ worthy of the test spot in the indian team anytime he­ is next only to sachin in india.Its all pitty politics­ from the selectors.Shame on them.
