Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly on Thursday said he hoped to feature in the next season of the cash-rich league as well."A lot of players moved in to new teams. I have moved to Pune Warriors in the late stage of the competition. Hopefully, I will feature in the next season as well," Ganguly said. The 38-year-old, who was not picked by his old IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders this season, failed to find a team when the players went under the hammer for the tourney in January.
However, the window to the IPL he was included in the Pune Warriors side in the final stages of the competition, replacing an injured Ashish Nehra. However, Ganguly could score only 50 runs in three innings at an average of 25.00.Speaking to media-persons on the sidelines of a programme here, Ganguly predicted that the Indian team would win the West Indies series."India will surely win the West Indies tour. I am also backing them against England but defeat them would be tough," he said. India take on West Indies in June followed by a long tour of England in July.
The man regarded as one of the best Indian captains ever was all praise for the present skipper M.S. Dhoni. "He is the main man. He has won us the World Cup and straight after that he led his team to IPL glory. He is a wonderful captain and a player."Asked about India going into the tour without experienced campaigners like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir, Ganguly replied: "It's a very good chance for youngsters."He said youngsters like Wriddhiman Saha should make the best of any opportunity.
