As Bengal begin their quest to get back into the Elite League of the Ranji Trophy, they might have to do so without the services of Sourav Ganguly. According to a national daily, Ganguly, who will retire from international cricket after the ongoing India-Australia series, is unlikely to turn up for his state side in the Plate League which will kick off next month. Just before the test series began, Sourav had announced his retirement from international cricket, saying that he was "hurt" and therefore he had decided to retire.
