We're hungry for more: Ganguly

Indians will field an unchanged side in the second Test, says Indian captain.

Indian captain Sourav Ganguly on Thursday sounded alarm bells for Bangladesh when he said that his record-breaking batsmen and bowlers were more hungry than ever before and would not move over even for the sake of their younger team-mates.

Declaring that the Indians would field an unchanged side in the second cricket Test starting on Friday, Ganguly said the senior players have had less cricket this season and were not willing to sit out so as to give an opportunity to the fringe players in the squad.

"It is difficult. The seniors have played eight to 10 Tests this year and don't want to sit out. It is very difficult to give somebody rest when he doesn't want it," Ganguly said on the eve of the match at the MA Aziz stadium.

India routed Bangladesh by an innings and 140-run in the first Test at Dhaka, with Sachin Tendulkar slamming a record-equalling 34th century of 248 not out and Anil Kumble picking up his 435th scalp to become the country's highest wicket-taker.
