Sourav Ganguly is dropped from the Rest of India team announced for the Irani Trophy. Indian batting legends can’t go on forever. But how they go is what matters, says The Indian Express
Sourav Ganguly was not in the line-up announced for the Irani Trophy, the traditional start to the domestic first-class and Test season. Endless analysis followed, in the manner in which it does in this cricket-crazy country, of whether it meant that Ganguly had been dropped from the Test team as well; whether, if so, it was fair; and whether, if dropped, Ganguly is capable of making another remarkable comeback. Other star players have been dropped, Yuvraj Singh among them, but their fate is not being obsessively discussed — not just because none of them has yet made the lasting contribution to the sport that Ganguly has, but that nobody fears that their international career is one missed Test away from being a memory.
