On whether he had any advice for the young brigade led by M S Dhoni for the tri series in australia, sourav who had come to Eden Gardens to autograph the certificates of the blood doners on Frank Worrell Day said, ''What suggestions can I give. I can only wish them luck.''
Sourav Ganguly was recently dropped from the one day squad reportedly on the insistence of ODI captain M.S.Dhoni.
It is evident that Ganguly was 'shocked' after being axed from the ODI team unceremoniously along with Rahul Dravid.
In a recent interview he said, ''Even I'm surprised I'm at home here and not at the Gabba.''
Sourav Ganguly on Sunday also said debutante Bengal batsman Manoj Tewari would require more time to acclimatise to the conditions in Australia.
Manoj was bowled for two runs in his debut match at Gabba against Australia.
''Manoj is a good cricketer and has loads of runs in domestic cricket. He will do well the faster he can acclimatise with the weather and conditions in Australia. You cannot judge a cricketer form one match,'' Sourav said.
Reminded about the similarity of Manoj making his debut in Australia like he did in 1992, he said, ''That is really nice. I wish all the best. Hope he plays well for the country and makes us proud.''
Sourav also informed that Manoj had some discussions with him before he left for Australia.
''Just a few little words some suggestions. He will turnaround given a chance,'' Ganguly said.
