NEW DELHI, April 30: Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis dampened spirits of embattled Saurav Ganguly saying left-hander did not merit a selection in Indian cricket team on the basis of current form. “Saurav is a great batsman but I am afraid on present form he does not deserve to be selected,” Waqar Younis told Press Trust of India news agency. “If I were a selector, I would definitely not select him.”

Ganguly is passing through one of his worst batting forms. He scored just 48 runs in recent three-Test series against Pakistan and had scores of 0, 9, 4 and 18 before he was slapped with a six-match ban.

“I think they should decide how they feel about Saurav because they are ones who chalk out strategies. They should ask themselves if they are ready and prepared to move-on without Saurav,” said Waqar.—Agencies
