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'.
