Sourav Ganguly should make way for the youngsters, says Bishan Singh Bedi – Cricket News Update
Former Indian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 for prolonging his career in domestic cricket as the legendary left-arm spinner is of the opinion that he should make way for the youngsters.
Ganguly retired from international cricket in 2008 but since then, he has been regularly playing the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Ranjhi Trophy. The left-handed batsman is leading Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 in the on-going fifth season of the cash-rich league.
‘Dada’ is considered to be one of the finest captains produced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 but most of the cricket analysts believe that the left-hander from Kolkata has gone past his best in professional sport.
Bedi, who is one of the best left-arm spinners in the history of the game, expressed that Ganguly was a class player in his playing days but he has nothing more to prove or to achieve as he has already retired from international cricket. The former Indian
captain feels that Ganguly should allow the youngsters to prove their worth rather than blocking their way.
“What is there for him to prove now? He should have stopped playing the IPL a long ago. He is leading the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 side even today as well as in the IPL franchisee he is playing for depriving a youngster,” said Bedi.
Bedi expressed that Ganguly has other roles to play for cricket in India and he must understand that he cannot continue to play the game at the same time.
“For Ganguly, it’s too much on his plate — he is heading the technical committee of the BCCI, he is a commentator, he is playing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy for Bengal. How can he wear so many caps? If he wants to play there’s no harm in it and none can stop him, but then,
you should quit the other roles,” he added.
Ganguly has failed to make an impression in the current season of IPL. Most cricket analysts believe that Pune could not perform up to the mark because of the former Indian captain, who struggled with his batting form throughout the tournament. It is likely
that this year’s IPL is the last of Sourav’s career.
