Sourav Ganguli is back in the team thanks to his fans
in Bengal, Sharad Pawar's desire to score political
points in Bengal and the support of Sachin Tendulkar
and Rahul Dravid. He will be playing in Pakistan, where
he has performed in the past. Even Inzamam thinks that
Ganguli has been picked for the series because of his
experience and past record.
"Sourav is a very experienced campaigner, he
led India to a successful series here last year. I think
they (Indian selectors) are counting on him to deliver
in Pakistani conditions," Inzamam said.
"Sourav is one of those players who has a lot
of experience of playing against us. I think they preferred
him over Mohammad Kaif for this very reason... I was
expecting them to go for Sourav's experience,"
he said.
Ganguly, India's most capped and most successful skipper,
had led India to a historic series win against Pakistan
last year.
The Pak captain said the selectors had plumped for
experience while picking the 16-member Indian squad
because of the intense pressure associated with cricket
against Pakistan.
"I think the Indian selectors have shown by recalling
Ganguly, Parthiv Patel (as the reserve keeper) and Zaheer
Khan that they are banking on experience.
These players have already played in Pakistan,"
Inzamam was quoted as saying by 'The News'.
