Ganguly left out of Irani Cup squad

REUTERS - India batsman Saurav Ganguly's international future hung in the balance after the 36-year-old was omitted from the Rest of India squad chosen to face Ranji Trophy winners Delhi in the five-day Irani Cup game from Sept. 24.

Ganguly was among the senior batsmen who fared poorly in last month's 2-1 test series defeat in Sri Lanka. Irani Cup performances are likely to form the basis for selecting the squad for the four-test home series against Australia starting early next month.
