Sunil speaks for his chairman in name of etiquette, (PTI) The legendary Sunil Gavaskar today said Sourav Ganguly"s outburst against the selectors was “understandable" but he should have waited till the end of the series against Australia to maintain the harmony in the dressing room.
“I think the outburst is understandable, I only wish that this outburst was only after the series had been concluded", Gavaskar said.

“By saying all these things, he has not helped himself and I dont think he has helped harmony in the dressing room. All that he had to say, he could have said after the series was over", Gavaskar told CNN-IBN.

Ganguly lashed out at the previous selection committee for the way he had been treated and said he decided to retire to save himself the humiliation of being treated as the “sacrificial goat" all the time.

Ganguly said there was no point in carrying on playing cricket if he was treated in such a manner while some of the other players were spared.

In an angry outburst, Sourav Ganguly has taken on the national selectors for the way he has been treated and said he decided to retire to save himself the humiliation of being treated as the “sacrificial goat" all the time.
Ganguly said there was no point in carrying on playing cricket if he was treated in such a manner while some of the other players were spared.

“There is no point playing like this. I am not willing to play at their (selectors") mercy. They will pick you now and then dump you. Why should I be the sacrificial goat all the time? It was difficult to accept," Ganguly, who announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday, said.

“If a gun is held at your head, how far can you bear it. That too after playing 450 matches. I played badly in only one series. But others are not dropped. I have scored the highest number of runs after comeback," he was quoted as saying by Bengali daily ‘Aaj Kaal".

“How long would I have played? May be upto 2009. May be seven more tests. For that I was not prepared to take any more humiliation," he added.

Ganguly said being dropped from the Irani Trophy Rest of India squad by the selection panel led by Vengsarkar was the last nail in the coffin and he thought he had faced enough humilation by then.

“I never thought I will be out of the Irani team. I couldn"t sleep for one month in anger, agony. Had this committee (new selection committee) come three years ago, things might have been different," said the 36-year-old left hander. PTI
