Ganguly's Exclusion
The present issue rocking the Indian Cricket Board and Our Parliament, the Ganguly's Exclusion from Indian team has got to be considered with different perspectives.Though, the most-likely reason might be Politics inside the Board, there are no evidences for its existence.Moreover, Politics is not an Alien term for our Indian Cricket Team.
When I speak FOR his Exclusion,I doubt, only because it was Ganguly, the issue has taken such a U-Turn.Otherwise,because of this dirty politics involved inside our Board, the cricket team have had to sacrifice lots of talented individuals during the past 2 decades or so.There were times when everybody knew without an inch of doubt that because of Politics a particular Individual had been shown door and their names never got into for discussion once again later.But, Ganguly's case was in with a different Scenario. The Board claimed that they had to give opportunities to a few young talents at the expense of such a senior Cricketer like Ganguly.It made sense when they didn't select him for the One-Day series against South Africa.
When I speak AGAINST his Exclusion, the immediate word that comes to my mind is "Everybody is entitled to a Fair-Deal" and Ganguly deserved a better treatment.As the famous quote goes,"Class is permanent and Form is Temporary".Ganguly is certainly a CLASSY player and his present form raised lots of doubts about his class.But, everybody can never perform on consistently in every match. He was having a bad-patch, which, if given proper time, he could have got into his own ways of making big runs.The Board had shown him door during the South Africa series and when they knew there wouldn't be a match without Ganguly at Kolkata, they selected him(Politics, Again !!!) and had him play a match(where, he performed reasonably well to have got scores of 39 & 40 in both the Innings).Then, again leaving him out and raising many an eyebrows whether Saurav can ever find his place in the team.
As a whole, it seemed, though the board denied any political involvement,Ganguly was not treated fair enough for his Image.Looking ahead the future,hope the Board Corrects its policies about selecting and Omitting the Players and make our Indian Team a Very strong one to watch out for during the next World-Cup.
