Sourav Ganguly returns home, evades media
Kolkata | August 05, 2006 10:15:06 PM IST
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who is in the eye of a storm over his controversial email from England lending support to anti-Dalmiya camp in the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) elections, returned to the city, sans the usual media glare at the airport. Ganguly arrived by a British Airways flight Friday morning, a Bengali TV channel reported. He returned on a day when Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sharad Pawar said the apex cricket body would not intervene regarding Sourav Ganguly's inclusion in the team and it would depend only on the selectors. Ganguly had an unimpressive county stint with Northamptonshire. The CAB election, in which his former mentor Jagmohan Dalmiya won a difficult battle, sucked Ganguly into it. The former Indian skipper drew flak for writing an email indirectly attacking Dalmiya for alleged leaking of the infamous Greg Chappell mail that precipitated his downfall. While West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya went all out to support Sourav and made attempts to remove Dalmiya from the CAB, state Sports Minister Subhas Chakraborty openly supported Dalmiya and called Ganguly an opportunist "who back-stabbed his mentor (Dalmiya)".
