Recalled to the Indian one-day side, Sourav Ganguly says that apart from
his regular role with the bat, he could also be useful as a bowler in the favourable
conditions of England and Ireland.
"I think I can contribute with the ball. It (conditions) will definitely
help the ball to move around in England. We are going in the second half (of the
summer) and I hope everyone lifts their game," Ganguly told 'CNN-IBN'.
Ganguly felt England would miss Andrew Flintoff in the
ODI and Test series if the talismanic all-rounder fails to recover from the
ankle injury.
"Obviously they'll miss Flintoff, who is not a part of
their team. Flintoff makes a lot of difference to their squad. But it will be
a good series," he added.
Ganguly, along with Sachin Tendulkar, was included in
the ODI squad that will play threa matches against South Africa in Ireland
(June 26-July 1) and another against Pakistan in Glasgow, Scotland (July 3).
The two were rested for the one-day series in Bangladesh last
month.
They, however, were part of the Test squad that beat Bangladesh
1-0 and are among the 16 that is to play three Tests in England in July-September.
