Fantastic win, says Sourav Ganguly

Kolkata, Mar 6 Lauding the M S Dhoni-led Indian team for the victory in the tri-series in Australia, Sourav Ganguly today said it was a 'fantastic win' Down Under.

"It's a fantastic win. It's a great victory. It's good for the game in India," Ganguly told newspersons on the sidelines of a programme here.

Ganguly would be leaving for Bangalore tomorrow for a fitness test ahead of the Test series against South Africa.

The BCCI has decreed that the players who were part of the Test squad in Australia, but not members of the victorious one-day team, would have to undergo a fitness-specific assessment in Bangalore at the National Cricket Academy tomorrow.

Apart from Ganguly, Test skipper Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, V V S Laxman and Wasim Jaffer had returned from Australia at the conclusion of the Test rubber in January-end.

Injured speedsters Zaheer Khan, who has gone to South Africa for treatment of his ankle, and R P Singh would also have to undergo a similar fitness assessment prior to the March 17 selection panel meeting.

Asked whether it was proper on the part of the BCCI to ask seniors to undergo a fitness assessment though they carried no injury, Ganguly said, "It is not a case of juniors and seniors. All those who did not play the ODIs have been asked to give the test. There is nothing wrong in that." Ganguly brushed aside a query on his chances of returning to the ODI team, saying "Please put this question to the selectors". (Agencies)
