Skipper told at 10.45 p.m. that ICC ban is suspended
KOLKATA (PTI): Relieved at the ICC's decision to suspend the two-Test ban on him, Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly last night said he was now looking forward to playing the first Test against South Africa in Kanpur from November 20.
"I am indeed very happy," said Ganguly, who was avoiding the media ever since the punishment was announced. "I feel very relieved that I can play the Test match now."
Asked when he came to know about the good news, he said, "At around 10.45 p.m. I am now
looking forward to the Kanpur Test."
Ganguly had been found guilty by ICC match referee Clive Lloyd of the charge of slow over-rate by India against Pakistan in the BCCI platinum jubilee One-day International match in Kolkata on Saturday. For this, Lloyd suspended him for two Tests.
The ICC yesterday suspended the two-Test ban on him and said he could play international cricket till a judgement is given on a possible appeal by the Indian cricket board against the punishment.
The ICC decision came after it had received a notice from the board stating its intention to appeal against the suspension of Ganguly from two Tests.
