Ganguly may appeal again

Ganguly may challenge the decision of ICC appeals commissioner.

Cricket Association of Bengal president Jagmohan Dalmiya on Monday indicated that Indian captain Sourav Ganguly may go for an appeal against the decision of ICC appeals commissioner Michael Beloff on the six-match ban slapped on him.

"The match is not yet over," Dalmiya told reporters immediately after emerging out of a meeting with Ganguly and senior lawyer Siddhartha Shankar Ray.

To a specific question whether Ganguly would be going for an appeal, Dalmiya said, "We have to look at various options."

The ICC commissioner on Sunday rejected Ganguly's appeal against the six-ODI match ban for lacking "sufficient merit" to overturn the initial decision.

Match referee Chris Broad had banned Ganguly for India's slow over-rates in the Jamshedpur and Ahmedabad games of the six-match series against Pakistan.
