Is Ganguly to open for India in Tests?

By John Cheeran
What did Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) President Sharad Pawar discuss with Sourav Ganguly when they met at his residence in New Delhi?
Ganguly says no comments. Pawar repeats no comments.
BCCI media committee chairman Rajeev Shukla says the two did not discuss selection matters. “Selection is left to selectors. They talked about the general health of Indian cricket."
Interesting.
If Pawar wanted to speak about the general health of Indian cricket he should better be speaking to skipper Rahul Dravid who is convalescing in Ahmedabad. Why speak to Ganguly who has overstayed in Indian cricket?
Why can't he sit together with the entire Indian squad to get feedback on the health of Indian cricket?
Or did Ganguly and Pawar discuss the agricuture policy and farmers' plight in rural India?Everyone knows that Ganguly went to New Delhi to plead with Pawar for a ticket to Pakistan. Though Pawar has been parroting the lines that he will not interfere with the selection process and selectors will have a free hand to make their decisions, the Union Agriculture minister is keen to sow the seeds of his longevity at the board helm by trying to please the Jagmohan Dalmiya group.
Bringing Ganguly back into the Indian side where nobody wants him -- neither coach Greg Chappell nor skipper Rahul Dravid nor any other senior team members -- would be the most regressive step Indian cricket can ever take.
Selectors and team management are justified in keeping Yuvraj Singh in the side in place of Ganguly. Yuvraj Singh has come good again in crisis; VVS Laxman has played another brilliant innings to hold together the Indian innings in the absence of Dravid.
Only Mohammad Kaif has failed in the middle order but he has been just given one Test to perform; Kaif remains an integral part to India's World Cup designs. His ebullient fielding alone commands a place in the one-day side. In the Ahmedabd Test, Kaif has taken five catches adding extra value to his role.
Rumours are already in circulation that selectors will opt for a sixteen-member side for Pakistan instead of the traditional 15, so that India can carry the curse of Ganguly to Pakistan. If selectors want to leave out anyone from the current squad it will be probably Kaif, who has no sponsors. There is no doubt that unwarranted pressure is brought upon the Kiran More-led the selection committee.
Evil has protean quality, I'm told. It can take any shape.
May be Ganguly can change into any form to slip into the Indian team. Specialist batsman. All rounder. Or will he sneak into the Indian side as an opener ousting a struggling Gautam Gambhir?
Will Rahul Dravid get a Chritsmas present he would not like to open?
