Ganguly expects ODI recall
Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is expecting a recall to the one-day squad. He feels that India had used up a golden opportunity to win the final Test against South Africa. He was the highest run-geter for India with 214 runs from three Tests.
He said that he expected to be selected in the one-day side. He has not played an ODI for the last 16 months, his last game being an outing against New Zealand in September 2005. Ganguly’s unbeaten Knock of 51 at Johannesburg laid the foundation for india’s victory in the first Test against South Africa.
He said that was a huge opportunity to win a series against South Africa at their home by winning the last Test, but unfortunately it could not happen. India lost the series 1-2 after taking a lead by winning the first Test.
Ganguly said about Tendulkar’s poor perform that it was part of the game and nobody could write off a player like Tendulkar whom he considered a genius. He also said not to forget that Sachin had got 70 international hundreds to his credit, nobody had such a record in the world. He added that the decline in form was part of the game, it happened to every cricketer.
Ganguly is very hopeful to get a chance for the upcoming four match ODI series at home against West Indies.
