I retired as I had enough of getting selected, says Sourav Ganguly

By Saurabh Sharma November 24, 2017 • 16:39 PM View: 2380

Kolkata, Nov 24 (Cricketnmore) Former India captain Sourav 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 here on Friday.

"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.
