Ganguly ignored again, Kaif considered for West Indies
MIL/Agencies, Apr 21, 2006.
Mumbai: A struggling Mohammed Kaif was retained and Sourav Ganguly ignored again by the national selectors on Thursday when they picked up the 15-member one-day squad for the series in the West Indies to be played next month.
Dravid and Coach Greg Chappell joined the five national selectors immediately on their arrival from Abu Dhabi. There is no change from the squad that took on Pakistan in the two one-dayers in Abu Dhabi. The BCCI, it also seems, shot down the idea of a 16-member side.
As many as nine of the players would be visiting the Caribbean for the first time.
Captain Rahul Dravid, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Kaif, Ajit Agarkar and Virender Sehwag are already there.
There was no second wicketkeeper in the side as the selectors felt Dravid and Uthappa could take over in case of emergency.
