Ganguly staged one of the most dramatic comebacks last year by returning to the team after 16 months in wilderness. The pugnacious left-hander has been the team’s second most consistent one-day batsman with 1240 runs from 32 matches with no less than 12 fifties.
The issue among cricketers is not only the omission of Ganguly but also the manner in which selectors have chosen to go about it, without giving a hint to him.
The two selectors present in Australia, Ranjib Biswal and Venkatapathy Raju, locked themselves in their rooms.
