Sourav Ganguly, the Indian captain, has refused to comment on whether he will play in the Challenger Series which begins on October 10 at Mohali.
There have been reports of uncertainty over Ganguly's participation after he met Dr. Kalyan Mukherjee, an orthopedic surgeon, and got an MRI scan done on his injured right elbow. "I am not going to say anything on the Challenger now," Ganguly was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India.
Gautam Dasgupta, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) joint secretary, said that he had not received any information on Ganguly's unavailability for the series. Chandi Ganguly, Ganguly's father, also refused to comment on the subject.
Ganguly sustained the injury during a practice match on India's recent tour of Zimbabwe. The Challenger series, which involves India Seniors, India A and India B, will serve as a selection trial for the forthcoming one-day series against Sri Lanka.
