KOCHI (India), March 13: Saurav Ganguly was Wednesday retained as India captain for the upcoming tour of the West Indies despite his unimpressive overseas record.
“The decision to retain Ganguly as captain was taken by the five-member selection committee headed,” said Indian cricket board secretary Niranjan Shah.
India will play five Tests and as many one-dayers on the West Indies tour, beginning next month.
