Disappointed at Sourav Ganguly being kept out of the coming ODI
series, Bangladesh cricket fans are now eagerly looking forward to see
the former Indian captain in action in the two Test matches during the latter
half of the tour.
Ganguly, who has a huge fan following in Bangladesh, was dropped
along with another senior pro Sachin Tendulkar by the Indian selectors
for the three One-Day Internationals, but has included in the Test squad.
"We love and adore Ganguly. He is a born fighter. People
in our country did not like the way he was dropped from the Indian team. But
we liked every bit of the great comeback that he made. He also did well in the
World Cup. So, we had expected to see him in both the ODIs and Tests,"
said Ali Noor Islam Khan, who owns a food and confectionery shop in Ghaus-e-Pak
Bhawan market complex.
Insan Ali, a youth in his early 20s, was effusive in his praise
for Ganguly. "He is a great captain. I have a feeling that India
would have done well if had he been at the helm of affairs. I will definitely
go to the Mirpur stadium (here) for the first Test and see him bat."
