'Ganguly axed when he was doing well'
Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu said he regretted that Sourav Ganguly was axed when the former captain was batting well.
Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday said he regretted that Sourav Ganguly was axed from India's one-day international cricket team when the former captain was batting well.
"The cricketer who completed his 10,000 runs in one-day matches and has distinction of winning a number of international matches under his captaincy, was shown the door when he was batting well," the cricketer-turned-politician told reporters at Malerkotla near here.
Ganguly has missed India's three ODI series in a row against Sri Lanka and South Africa at home last year and against Pakistan, which has just concluded in Pakistan.
Sidhu, a BJP MP, lauded the present team combination for being disciplined and exhibiting a superb performance against their rivals in Pakistan.
