Dada forced to quit......!!!

History will record that Sourav Ganguly announced his retirement, but actually he has been forced to retire. Sourav’s recent performance was above his teammates. In the last Test played in India, Sourav not only bagged the man of the match award, but also scored two half-centuries and averaged 52.75. Failure in one Test series against Sri Lanka gave selectors the chance to drop him for the Irani Trophy. When a senior player like Sourav is asked to prove his worth time and again, it hurts the honour and the prestige of the player and he is left with no other option but to quit. It is a sad moment for Indian cricket that the most successful skipper of the nation has been shown the door in the most disgraceful manner possible.
