‘Ganguly can return to Test squad’
KOLKATA, Sept 29: India’s newly-appointed chairman of national selectors Dilip Vegsarkar said on Friday that former captain Saurav Ganguly could surely make a comeback to the Test side on the basis of his performance.
Talking to the newsmen during a sojourn to the city, Vengsarkar said: "Saurav is a great cricketer but needs to perform well to get back into the side, performance is the sole criterion."
"Being the chairman I have to select players with a broad and open mind and I am open to anyone being in the Indian team who has talent."
Vengsarkar said: "Age is not a criteria as long as one performs."
He also said neither would he go by names or previous performances nor by the fact that the player was too young. “The players' current form would be everything.”
Vengsarkar visited quite a few clubs where he faced the repetitive requests to include Saurav back into the team to which he assured that Ganguly would definitely be back on basis of his performance.—Agencies
