Former captain Sourav Ganguly was Friday named in India's squad for the limited-overs international series against the West Indies starting next week. Ganguly was India's most successful captain, leading the country to victories in 21 tests and 76 one-dayers. Ganguly, 34, returns to the Indian one-day squad 16 months after being omitted due to his indifferent form and a public spat with national coach Greg Chappell during the 2005 tour of Zimbabwe.
"Ganguly has done well, that's why he's here in the team," chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar said after the selection panel's meeting in the western town of Rajkot.
Ganguly - one of the biggest names in world cricket and India's most successful skipper-The left-hander - who's scored over 10,000 one day international runs and played 88 tests
why was he dropped from the test team ?
In the chronological order he scored 144, 2, 12, 37, 73, 16, 77, 45, 5, 9, 57, 40, 71, 88, 21, 12, 1, 1, 2, 101, 16, 5, 40, 39, 34 & 37 in his last 20 test matches. Before you begin to calculate the average, mode and medians just try to decide with a glance at the list. Chances are you will agree with me that a player doesn’t deserve to be dropped based on this series of scores. If you are still keen, let me tell you that the average works out to over 38. (The median is over 30, and the highest mode is 40!)
Lets hope for the best from DADA .....Lets cheers for Dada and India !!
