Ganguly, a veteran of 109 Tests, has been in and out of the team after he lost captaincy in 2005 following a spat with the then coach Greg Chappell during tour of Zimbabwe. He had assumed the captaincy in the most difficult time for cricket when Mohammad Azharuddin had to step down on match-fixing charges. Last year, he was dropped from the one-day team during the England tour and ever since had failed to make a serious comeback. Ganguly made his debut in international cricket in 1992 by being selected for the one-day team and later entered the Test format in 1996. He has also played 311 ODI matches. Ganguly has scored 6,888 runs in the Tests, averaging 41.74 and 11,363 runs in ODIs at an average of 41.02. His highest Test score was 239 and ODIs 183. In Twenty20, he scored 726 runs at an average of 25.92, the highest being 91. Ganguly, the overall fifth-highest run-getter for India, is only the seven batsmen in the world to cross the 10,000-run mark in one-day internationals. He led India to 21 wins in 49 matches before he was sacked in 2005. Ganguly, however, was a surprise inclusion for the first two Tests against Australia being ignored for the five-day domestic Irani Cup tie last month, a selection trial for the series. THREAT TO KIDNAP DAUGHTER: In the press conference, Ganguly admitted that his wife Dona had received two threat letters to kidnap their daughter Sana for a ransom of Rs 4 crores. Earlier in the day, a senior CID official had revealed at Kolkata that the treat letters were sent by post to their residence. The first one came a month ago and the second 10 days ago, Additional Director General, CID, Bhupindar Singh said.
