Ganguly makes comeback
12/25/2005
 

          Sourav Ganguly has been included in India's squad for the forthcoming Test series against Pakistan, starting early next month. The selectors also decided to recall Zaheer Khan, the left-arm seamer, after a three-month absence while there was no place for Mohammad Kaif and Murali Kartik, the left-arm spinner, in the 16-man squad, according to Cricinfo.
Parthiv Patel was named as the second wicketkeeper while Wasim Jaffer retained his place as the third opener.
Kiran More, the former Indian wicketkeeper and current chairman of selectors, said that Ganguly's experience had been a factor in his inclusion.
"Kaif has done well but he hasn't had enough Test matches - he played after one-and-a-half years," he said.
"We got Sourav back because we needed some experience for the tough tour. The Pakistan team is well prepared and we needed to pick the best combination.
"Sourav has experience and runs behind him. If you see the recent record and statistics, he hasn't done well but we needed his experience on this tour. We wanted to give youngsters a chance on the Sri Lanka tour. I am not saying he will play in the XI. That will be selected by the team management and one selector who will accompany the team on the tour."
