Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is already busy getting himself ready for the Indian Premier League 2011. But the 38-year-old still doesn’t know which franchise he’ll be representing in the fourth edition of the IPL and is willing to part ways with KKR.
“My first choice will obviously be KKR, but yes, if the situation demands, I am open to playing for some other team. The bottomline is, I want to play the IPL because I think I have some cricket left in me.” said Ganguly in an interview with The Times of India.
Rumours are rife that the left-hander won’t be retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders, but Ganguly says the franchise hasn’t taken a decision yet. “Shah Rukh Khan is not in India and I don't think that there has been any final decision taken on it. Yet, if I am not retained, there is always the option that I can be picked up from the auction.”
Ganguly retired from international cricket in 2008 and has now returned to playing Ranji Trophy cricket with Bengal to regain his form and fitness for the IPL.
“IPL is an extremely competitive format and if I do not play some serious cricket before that, I am bound to struggle. I want to ensure that I am fit and playing my best cricket when the event starts in a few months time.” The southpaw
