Sourav Ganguly Looks Back at His Retirement From The Sport - JPKee.com

New Delhi: Sourav Ganguly has come across as a very candid man post his retirement as an international player and playing true to that reputation, the former Indian skipper opened his heart out when he looked back at his career. Ganguly was frank when he talked about why he had chosen to retire when he did. The statement is like a breath of fresh air keeping in mind the diplomatic and drab interviews we are used to in Indian cricket.

Ganguly called it quits from Test cricket in 2008 because he had had enough of selection sagas, fresh from the Greg Chappell controversy which led to him being dropped from the Indian team, the southpaw revealed.

“I retired because at some point you’ve had enough. The reason is not because you have had enough of playing the sport but because you’ve had enough of getting selected all the time. Dropped/selected that’s part and parcel of sport,” Ganguly said while speaking at the India Today Conclave East 2017.

Ganguly, one of India’s most successful Test captains, was sacked from his leadership role in October 2005 and later eased out of both the Test and one-day squads following a row with coach Chappell. (With IANS inputs)
