BCCI at last has decided to remove saurav ganguly from the indian team. They took the decision in a meeting they had yesterday in kolkata,as reported.
BCCI president Mahendra kumar said that the board has taken the decision due to pressure from the india coach and selectors with reference to his consistent
bad form and behavioral aspects with the team mates and the coach. He also added that Ganguly was the greatest captain India ever had but his removal was inevitable.
As a good will gesture, Ganguly was asked his last wish before him stepping down from the team. Ganguly has requested the board that he would like to step down as a winning captain and not on a loosing note. He also mentioned that he would like to win a tournament before stepping down. He said he aleays wanted to win a world cup but winning in a one day final tournament is his still unfulfilled dream of life. In order to help Ganguly fulfil his career dream BCCI has decided to schedule a tournment with the consent of ICC president Ehsaan Mani.
The tournament details are as follows:
Date: 6th October to 18th October
Venue: Harare
Teams: India, Zimbabwe, Kenya,Bangladesh
The match schedules will be published later.
Rules(as requested by Ganguly)
1) Heath Streak, Masakadza and Blignaut are not supposed to represent either of Zimbabwe
2) To be on the safer side one of the umpires will be an Indian( preferrable Jayaprakash)
3) Sachin will be playing this tournament irrespective of his injuries so as to help his captain lift a winning trophy
4) Prize money will be a wooffing 10 million dollars so that Ganguly can financially sustain his life after cricket (it's rumoured that he is also loosing all his endorsements including sona chandi chawanprash)
5) For the toss, Ganguly is insisting umpires to use the coin which was used in the movie Sholay. (and obviously he will be calling the toss)
