The sudden appreciation of Saurav Ganguly's talent & achievements by Sharad Pawar and his return to India team is nothing short a suspense novel. The characters involved are politicians from west Bengal who have put pressure on congress government to include Saurav for reasons other than cricketing abilities. Mr. Sharad Pawar & BCCI has set a precedence by including Ganguly by succumbing to antics of Bengali politicians and people. SO in future we should expect people from different zones resorting to strikes and road blocks to include the players from their respective zone. People of Uttar Pradesh should now also start behaving like the so called "passionate" Bengalis and get Mohammad Kaif included in the test team. I have suggestion to BCCI to do away with the selectors and instead ask the people of India to vote their players by SMS since the current selection of individuals like Ganguly is without the selctors & coach's consent. Why not make it a farce which people atleast understand rather than enduring the comedy show and comments from selectors/BCCI after every selection process.

See actually his exclusion from the team was politically and racially motivated not his inclusion. what sewag and tendulkar did in last few games. was it a nice performance? then why they are not excluded? question yourself what type of politically and ratially motivated things happened earlier in indian cricket and then also bengalees do the same thing what they are doing today. but they were not racially motivated. when kapildev was sidelined by selectors and Gavaskar was made captain( after kapildev gave India the world cup), then who protested? you? or bengalees? after utpal chatterjee performed well he was excluded from the team. after arunlal did 93 and something around 50 in two innings against West Indies he was excluded. what was the reason? only they were a player from east zone. So, please check the history and then speak against the most successful captain. You racial idiots.
