Former skipper of Indian cricket team Sourav Ganguly has said that he is optimistic to feature in the next season of Indian Primer League (IPL).
“A lot of players moved in to new teams. I have moved to Pune Warriors in the late stage of the tournament. Hopefully, I will feature in the next season as well,” 38-year-old Ganguly said while talking to media on Thursday.
The Prince of Calcutta, was not elite by his old IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders this season, joined Pune Warriors in the last stages to join injured Ashish Nehra. But he failed to accomplish the expectations of spectators and could score only 50 runs in three innings at an average of 25.00.
Talking about India’s tour to West Indies Ganguly prophesied that the Indian team would win the West Indies series.
“India will surely win the West Indies tour. I am also backing them against England but beating them would be tough,” he said.
When queued about blueshirts are visiting without experienced crusaders like Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan, Ganguly replied:
“It’s a very good chance for youngsters.”
India will commence their tour with a Twenty20 game on Saturday.
