It is sad that his name was not even proposed during re-auctioneering," former first class left-arm spinner Avinash Kumar said.<br /><br />Former Bihar glovesman Ashok Ghosh said "He is a great player. I don't know the reason behind his non-selection."<br /><br />"It was sad that Ganguly was not even considered in the re-auction ... his participation could have been a motivation to youngsters," said another former Ranji cricketer Manoj Yadav.<br /><br />Former Bihar Ranji captain Adil Hussein and his cricketing partner Anwar Mushtaq felt Ganguly deserved another stint as he was still in competitive cricket.<br /><br />"The auctioneering has surprised us. He could have attracted a crowd anywhere in the world," Hussein felt.<br /><br />"I have my doubts about their cricketing sense if they had thought Sourav could not have lasted for three years," he added.<br /><br />Chanchal Bhattacharya, one of three coaches of Dhoni during his formative years, said "I think both left-handers, Ganguly and Brain Lara, deserved a slot in any of the teams and would have drawn crowds on their own."</p>
